A manipulative test of competing theories for metabolic scaling in animals.

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.

A test of Metabolic Theory as the mechanism underlying broad‐scale species‐richness gradients

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2007
ABSTRACTAim  To test whether the temperature dependence of individuals’ metabolic rates is the mechanism shaping broad‐scale species‐richness gradients as proposed in the Metabolic Theory of Ecology recently proposed by Allen, Gillooly and Brown.Location  North America, north of Mexico.Methods  Metabolic Theory predicts that the natural logarithm of ...

Scaling relations based on the geometric and metabolic theories in woody plant species: A review

Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2019
Abstract Extensive studies by Enquist and colleagues have indicated that many characteristics of organisms vary with body size, as described by allometric equations of power form. There are two representative models in relation to a scaling exponent for self-thinning from the viewpoints of resource allocation and geometry. This study was performed to
