Abstract
.This has been interpreted to be a consequence of large mammals (mostly herbivores)harbouring symbiotic bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract and therefore (a) they arehardly ever in a ‘post-absorptive’ state and (b) the metabolism of these symbionts isincluded in any measurement on the host organism. The only way to address this problemis to exclude larger species from regressions. Using the
期刊介绍：
Evolutionary Ecology Research publishes original research contributions focusing on the overlap between ecology
and evolution. Papers may treat any taxon or be general. They may be empirical, theoretical or a combination of the two.
EER prefers conceptual contributions that take intellectual risks or that test ideas.
