Costly neighbours: Heterospecific competitive interactions increase metabolic rates in dominant species

Abstract The energy costs of self-maintenance (standard metabolic rate, SMR) vary substantially among individuals within a population. Despite the importance of SMR for understanding life history strategies, ecological sources of SMR variation remain only partially understood. Stress-mediated increa...
