Something I didn't know until recently about mitochondria is that different cells have different types of them, and there are multiple types of them. That makes me think of cellular evolution a bit differently.

The brain uses a lot of energy. But it's not using that energy all the time and at the same intensity. It's not just more neuronal activity = more energy. There is also a lot of background process demending energy.

Around #extinction events, the shape of shells of certain groups becomes simpler. It's a sort of austerity measure to reduce the #energy cost associated with producing a shell. Might be something we need to keep an eye out for in marine organisms now.
Also, I know some paleontologists don't like it, but we really need to bring in more #metabolics, #bioenergetics, and dynamic energy budget theory into the discussion on fossils. -
