We collected 437 h of bio-logging data from 23 Antarctic minke whales (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) to test the relationship of feeding rates (λf) to body size. Here, we show that while ultra-high nighttime λf (mean ± s.d.: 165 ± 40 lunges h−1; max: 236 lunges h...

Humanity is destabilizing critical functions of the Earth system, which adversely affects human well-being1. However, there is growing evidence of inequalities in both responsibility for, and vulnerability to, environmental change. The people, countries and organizations making the largest contribution to...
Current estimates are that virus particles massively outnumber live cells in most habitats1,2, but only a tiny fraction of viruses have been cultivated in the laboratory. An unprecedented diversity of viruses are being discovered through culture-independent sequencing3. Progress has been made in reco...
age, sex and BMI can differ, in one study withn = 8–10 by as much as ±28% of the mean [18] and in another withn = 13–15 by ±13% of the mean [19]. We excluded BBG because its effect on PPGR may differ from that of OBG due to its different molecular ...
