About MetaR

This project aims to synthesise the impact of global environmental change on a key physiological trait in ectotherms: their metabolic rate. To this end, I will assemble and curate a large, intra-and-interspecific database on metabolic rates of ectotherms (invertebrates, fish, amphibians and reptiles), globally distributed across realms (marine, freshwater, intertidal and terrestrial), climate zones (polar, temperature and tropical), and from the deepest ocean to the highest mountains.

MetaR is a global database of 1,577 sampling locations spanning marine, intertidal, freshwater and terrestrial realms, from depths of 4,420 m to elevations above sea level of 4,300 m. MetaR will include information from more than 1800 primary articles, published over more than a century (from 1914 to 2022).

MetaR includes data over 2,400 species across 16 phyla, ranging from aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates to small and large vertebrates.

Further information

MetaR is still under development (double checking of records) but will become open to the community afterwards. For potential collaboration or any further information about this project, please get in touch with me: Félix P. Leiva, email: felixpleiva@gmail.com
