Cell size and basal metabolic rate in hummingbirds Tamaño celular y tasa metabólica basal en picaflores
Nucleotypic theory suggests that genome size play indirect roles in determining organismal fitness. Among endotherms this theory has been demonstrated by an inverse correlation between basal metabolic rate (BMR) and genome size. Nonetheless, accumulation of variables, especially for some key groups...
