Why are metabolic scaling exponents so controversial? Quantifying variance and testing hypotheses [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2010 The metabolic theory of ecology links physiology with ecology, and successfully predicts many allometric scaling relationships. In recent years, proponents and critics of metabolic theory have debated vigorously about the scaling of metabolic rate.

Metabolic scaling is the product of life-history optimization
Science, 2022Organisms use energy to grow and reproduce, so the processes of energy metabolism and biological production should be tightly bound. On the basis of this tenet, we developed and tested a new theory that predicts the relationships among three fundamental ...

Litter production, or litterfall, is a predominant part of the carbon and nutrient cycles of forest ecosystems. As a major and relatively invariable aspect of primary production, litterfall could be a predictor of total plant production.

With the advent of modern omics technologies, it has become feasible to reconstruct (quasi-) whole-cell metabolic networks and characterize them in more and more detail. Computer simulations of the dynamic behavior of such networks are difficult due to a lack of kinetic data and to computational limitations.

Exploring the role of temperature in the ocean through metabolic scaling [PDF]
Ecology, 2015 Temperature imposes a constraint on the rates and outcomes of ecological processes that determine community- and ecosystem-level patterns. The application of metabolic scaling theory has advanced our understanding of the influence of temperature on ...

Metabolic scaling is demand driven
Journal of ZoologyMetabolic scaling is a major regularity in nature. Existing theory explains this scaling in terms of the optimal geometry of resource supply networks.

DOES METABOLIC THEORY APPLY TO COMMUNITY ECOLOGY? IT'S A MATTER OF SCALE
Ecology, 2004al. (2004), there were moments of insight, of enthusiastic consensus, and of strongly divergent opinion. We agreed that the empirical relations and scaling theory of Brown et al. (2004) hold great appeal because of their power to abstract and simplify some of the complexity of nature.

Ventilation Frequency Reveals the Roles of Exchange Surface Areas in Metabolic Scaling
Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, 2020The surface area (SA) theory proposes that resting metabolic rate (RMR) scales with body mass, which parallels the exchange SA of organisms, and that a species with a larger scaling exponent of exchange SA has a larger scaling exponent of RMR.

The maximum entropy theory of ecology (METE) applies the concept of "entropy" from information theory to predict macroecological patterns. The energetic predictions of the METE rely on predetermined metabolic scaling from external theories, and this ...
