Yet even these lower scaling exponents suggests that the architecture of skeletal muscle may shift toward a mechanical role in support at the cost of propulsion as size increases. Several studies have attempted to understand the ex- tent to which animals can, and do, change the structure of ...
HOW TO GET A META PERSPECTIVE ON YOURSELF AND THE WORLD. The loss of a meta perspective on ourselves and our away of living, contributes to the environmental collapse we now experience coming up. But this need not be the final outcome. Because, we are no
Nature works at a much smaller scale than we humans usually do. However, we currently live during very exciting times, where we can find inspiration for innovation at a smaller scale. We can now image at the nano-scale. That means that we can see structures and processes at a scale ...
2.1.2. Interspecific Patterns As expected from predictions of cell SA theory, multiple studies have reported neg- ative associations between R/M and cell size (or its proxy, genome size) among related animal species, including carabid beetles [41], amphibians [22,28,54], eyelid geckos [32]...
