Add to ORKGAnimal’s size is a product of the selective pressures that act on them. This size is veryimportant because it’s one of the fundamental characteristics that determine animalecosystemrelation. This project is an attempt to summarize our current knowledge of howanimal mass evolves and how it indirectly affects the environment
