Scientists uncover a hidden limit inside human endurance Ultra-endurance athletes can push their bodies to extraordinary extremes, but even they run into a hard biological wall. Researchers tracked ultra-runners, cyclists, and triathletes over weeks and…

"Researchers tracked ultra- #runners, #cyclists, and #triathletes over weeks and months, discovering that no matter how intense the effort, the human #body maxes out at about 2.5 times its basal #MetabolicRate when measured long-term.": buff.ly/5NaaWLx

About 70 #genes are known to control metabolic links associated with obesity. Consequently, the causes and treatments of #obesity can vary greatly from one person to another. #healthyaging #aging #metabolicrate

Temperature and precipitation explain variation in metabolic rate but not frequency of gas exchange in Fijian bees Summary: Temperature and precipitation explain variation in Fijian bee metabolic rate, partially supporting the metabolic cold adaptation hypothesis. Aridity does not explain variation in frequency of...

Excited to see our ms published with @jexpbiol.bsky.social! We show that temperature and precipitation explain metabolic rate in Fijian bees across an elevational gradient. #metabolicrate #bee #adaptation

Positive Feedback on Climate Warming by Stream Microbial Decomposers Indicated by a Global Space‐For‐Time Substitution Study A globally distributed study in stream ecosystems revealed that plant litter decomposition by microorganisms is more sensitive to temperature than decomposition in the presence of detritivores, where...

Temperature is proportional to #metabolicrate.

An ⬆️ in temperature leads to EXPONENTIAL ⬆️ in metabolic rate (West, 2017).
If environm. temperature ⬆️ by just 2°,growth & death rates of all biological life increase by 20-30% (Gillooly et al., 2002). #climate
