奥康纳等人最近的一份报告表明，如代谢理论所预测的那样，幼虫的休眠持续时间随温度而下降。这一观察使作者能够建立一个统一的模型，预测温度对浮游幼虫持续时间的影响，从而预测在海洋环境中的扩散潜力。这些结果表明，代谢理论是一个统一的生态原则，桥梁海洋和陆地的鸿沟，有助于解决海洋生物多样性和保护的基本问题，以及了解海洋生物对气候变化的反应。
A recent report by O'Connor et al demonstrates that planktonic larval duration time declines with temperature, as predicted from metabolic theory. This observation enabled the authors to develop a unified model predicting the effects of temperature on planktonic larval duration and, therefore, dispersal potential in the marine environment. These results show metabolic theory to be a unifying ecological principle that bridges the marine and terrestrial divide, helping to address fundamental problems in marine biodiversity and conservation, as well as to understand the response of marine organisms to climate change.
