Population density and body size in mammals
- J. Damuth
- 23 April 1981
Biology, Environmental Science
Density is related approximately reciprocally to individual metabolic requirements, indicating that the energy used by the local population of a species in the community is independent of its body size.
Interspecific allometry of population density in mammals and other animals: the independence of body mass and population energy‐use
- J. Damuth

Environmental Science, Biology
It is suggested that rough independence of body mass and the energy-use of local populations is a widespread rule of animal ecology and community structure.

A Method for Analyzing Selection in Hierarchically Structured Populations

Biology
Individual fitness depends on the particular ecological, genetic, and social contexts in which organisms are found. Variation in individual context among subunits of a population thus raises…

Amazon Cone: Morphology, Sediments, Age, and Growth Pattern
- J. DamuthNaresh Kumar
- 1 June 1975
Geology, Environmental Science
The morphology, sediment distribution, and growth pattern of the Amazon cone are similar to those of other deep-sea fans; its sediment, at least during the late Quaternary Period, was deposited in…
Miocene ungulates and terrestrial primary productivity: where have all the browsers gone?
- C. JanisJ. DamuthJ. Theodor

Biology, Environmental Science
It is suggested that the early Miocene browser-rich communities may reflect higher levels of primary productivity in Miocene vegetation, compared with equivalent present-day vegetation types.
Alternative formulations of multilevel selection
- J. DamuthI. L. Heisler
- 1 October 1988
Biology, Philosophy
It is argued that the “effect hypothesis” of macroevolution, requiring, in selection among species, both the absence of group effects on organismic fitness (multilevel selection) and the direct determination of species fitnesses by those of organisms, is untestable with paleontological data.
Quantitative characteristics of sinuous distributary channels on the Amazon Deep-Sea Fan
Morphometric analysis of meandering channels on the middle and lower Amazon Deep-Sea Fan demonstrates that these channels have definite similarities with meandering subaerial rivers. The…
