The first image; the one on the lead section, I have permission from the author in the form of an email. I can link a photo if requested (but I will block out any sensitive details [if any])

27/05/19: Should I edit the template of 'Biological rules' template to add this article 'Jarman-Bell Principle' to the template before submitting to review or after?

31/05/19: Will add after this pg passes review. Also, I can't get the section to redirect link 'Kleiber's Law' to work. I want people to click on the link and get redirected to subsection 1.1 Kleiber's Law. This link is in subsection 2.2 Link to Jarman- Bell Principle.


01/06/19: (1) Potential discrepancy between retention time of gut. vs retention of fermentation site. (2) More sources required for the sections: polygynous ungulates, primate behaviour and dinosaur gigantism. Each respective section only has 1 source.

07/06/19: Potential 2 more sites of info for applications of the principle (sourced from Assessing the Jarman–Bell Principle: Scaling of intake, digestibility, retention time and gut fill with body mass in mammalian herbivores): (1) Fruit bats: Tershy, B.R., 1992. Body size, diet, habitat use, and social behavior of balaenoptera whales in the Gulf of California. J. Mammal. 73, 477–486. (2) Baleen whales: Fleming, T.H., 1991. The relationship between body size, diet, and habitat use in frugivorous bats, Genus Carollia (Phyllostomidae). J. Mammal. 72, 493–501.
