<b>Metabolic Theory of Ecology and diversity of continental zooplankton in Brazil</b> - doi: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v34i1.9087

Several ecological hypotheses try to explain geographical patterns in biodiversity. The Metabolic Theory of Ecology (MTE) predicts that temperature is the main determinant of richness patterns for ectothermic organisms and that the relationship between richness (lnS) and temperature (1/kT) is a line...
