摘要
Body size affects nearly all aspects of organismal biology, so it is important to understand the constraints and dynamics of body size 演化. Despite empirical work on the macro演化 and macro生態學 of minimum and maximum size, there is little general quantitative theory on rates and limits of body size 演化. We present a general theory that integrates individual productivity, the lifestyle component of the slow-fast life-history continuum, and the allometric 縮放律 of generation time to predict a clade's 演化ary rate and asymptotic maximum body size, and the shape of macro演化ary trajectories during diversifying phases of size 演化. We evaluate this theory using data on the 演化 of clade maximum body sizes in mammals during the Cenozoic. As predicted, clade 演化ary rates and asymptotic maximum sizes are larger i
