Applications and implications of ecological energetics
Published 2014“…The field of 'ecological energetics' is bringing comparative physiology out of the laboratory and, for the first time, is becoming broadly accessible to field ecologists addressing real-world questions at many spatial and temporal scales. …”

Physiological regulation of evaporative water loss in endotherms: Is the little red kaluta (Dasykaluta rosamondae) an exception or the rule?
Published 2014“…It is a central paradigm of comparative physiology that the effect of humidity on evaporative water loss (EWL) is determined for most mammals and birds, in and below thermoneutrality, essentially by physics and is not under physiological regulation. …”

Reexamining echidna physiology: The big picture for Tachyglossus aculeatus acanthion
Published 2016“…The early divergence of monotremes and therian mammals has resulted in considerable interest in the comparative physiology of the short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus), the most common and widespread living monotreme. …”

Geographical variation in the standard physiology of brushtail possums (Trichosurus): Implications for conservation translocations
Published 2018“…Identifying spatial patterns in the variation of physiological traits that occur within and between species is a fundamental goal of comparative physiology. There has been a focus on identifying and explaining this variation at broad taxonomic scales, but more recently attention has shifted to examining patterns of intra-specific physiological variation. …”

Numbats and aardwolves—how low is low? A re-affirmation of the need for statistical rigour in evaluating regression predictions
Published 2006“…Many comparative physiological studies aim to determine if a particular species differs from a prediction based on a linear allometric regression for other species. …”

Measuring emotional response towards aroma attributes in beer; a comparison of self-report, physiological and facial expression measures
Published 2016“…The aim of this project was to compare physiological/facial expression, self-reported emotional response and traditional hedonic liking scores to determine which measure was more discriminating towards a range of beer aromas. …”
