Metabolic scaling in small life forms

Autor: Ritchie, Mark E., Kempes, Christopher P.

Metabolic scaling is one of the most important patterns in biology. Theory explaining the 3/4-power size-scaling of biological metabolic rate does not predict the non-linear scaling observed for smaller life forms. Here we present a new model for cel

Metabolic scaling is governed by Murray's network in animals and by hydraulic conductance and photosynthesis in plants

Autor: Zhao, Jinkui

The prevailing theory for metabolic scaling is based on area-preserved, space-filling fractal vascular networks. However, it's known both theoretically and experimentally that animals' vascular systems obey Murray's cubic branching law. Area-preserve

Understanding how allometric exponents vary in the different biologically determined patterns turns out to be fundamental for the development of a unifying hypothesis that intends to explain most of the variation among taxa and physiological states.
