Testing metabolic scaling theory using intraspecific allometries in Antarctic microarthropods [PDF]
Oikos, 2010 Quantitative scaling relationships among body mass, temperature and metabolic rate of organisms are still controversial, while resolution may be further complicated through the use of different and possibly inappropriate approaches to statistical analysis.

Effects of Contingency versus Constraints on the Body-Mass Scaling of Metabolic Rate [PDF]
Challenges, 2018 I illustrate the effects of both contingency and constraints on the body-mass scaling of metabolic rate by analyzing the significantly different influences of ambient temperature (Ta) on metabolic scaling in ectothermic versus endothermic animals ...

Testing metabolic ecology theory for allometric scaling of tree size, growth and mortality in tropical forests [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2006 Abstract The theory of metabolic ecology predicts specific relationships among tree stem diameter, biomass, height, growth and mortality. As demographic rates are important to estimates of carbon fluxes in forests, this theory might offer important insights into the global carbon budget, and deserves careful assessment.

Reconciling theories for metabolic scaling [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2013 Summary Metabolic theory specifies constraints on the metabolic organisation of individual organisms. These constraints have important implications for biological processes ranging from the scale of molecules all the way to the level of populations, communities and ecosystems, with their application to the latter emerging as the field of metabolic ...

Scaling of Metabolic Scaling within Physical Limits [PDF]
Systems, 2014 Both the slope and elevation of scaling relationships between log metabolic rate and log body size vary taxonomically and in relation to physiological or developmental state, ecological lifestyle and environmental conditions.

Metabolic Scaling in Complex Living Systems [PDF]
Systems, 2014 In this review I show that four major kinds of theoretical approaches have been used to explain the scaling of metabolic rate in cells, organisms and groups of organisms in relation to system size.

Declining metabolic scaling parallels an ontogenetic change from elongate to deep-bodied shapes in juvenile Brown trout [PDF]
Current Zoology, 2022 Body shape and metabolic rate can be important determinants of animal performance, yet often their effects on influential traits are evaluated in a non-integrated way. This creates an important gap because the integration between shape and metabolism may

A Manipulative Test of Competing Theories for Metabolic Scaling [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2011 The reasons why metabolic rate (B) scales allometrically with body mass (M) remain hotly debated. The field is dominated by correlational analyses of the relationship between B and M; these struggle to disentangle competing explanations because both B and M are confounded with ontogeny, life history, and ecology.
