Some consequences of body size
American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1984The question of the proper size denominator for metabolic indices is addressed. Metabolic rate among different species is proportional to the 3/4 power of body weight, not surface area. Muscle power also varies with the 3/4 power of weight, suggesting that metabolic rate is determined mainly by muscle power.

The evolution of body size distributions
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1995Body size, or perhaps more appropriately body mass, is arguably the single most important organismal variable; the attention paid to this parameter, as reviewed in TREE by Blackburn and GastonI, is entirely warranted. The distributions of body sizes in communities, guilds and clades have the potential to tell us a great deal about how ecosystems ...
