Toward a metabolic theory of ecology
James H. Brown,James H. Brown,James F. Gillooly,Andrew P. Allen,Van M. Savage,Van M. Savage,Geoffrey B. West,Geoffrey B. West +7 more
TL;DR: This work has developed a quantitative theory for how metabolic rate varies with body size and temperature, and predicts how metabolic theory predicts how this rate controls ecological processes at all levels of organization from individuals to the biosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Size and Temperature on Metabolic Rate
James F. Gillooly,James H. Brown,James H. Brown,Geoffrey B. West,Geoffrey B. West,Van M. Savage,Van M. Savage,Eric L. Charnov +7 more
TL;DR: A general model is derived, based on principles of biochemical kinetics and allometry, that characterizes the effects of temperature and body mass on metabolic rate of microbes, ectotherms, endotherms (including those in hibernation), and plants in temperatures ranging from 0° to 40°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of size and temperature on developmental time
James F. Gillooly,Eric L. Charnov,Geoffrey B. West,Geoffrey B. West,Van M. Savage,Van M. Savage,Van M. Savage,James H. Brown,James H. Brown +8 more
TL;DR: A general model is derived, based on first principles of allometry and biochemical kinetics, that predicts the time of ontogenetic development as a function of body mass and temperature, and suggests a general definition of biological time that is approximately invariant and common to all organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Body Size and Temperature on Population Growth
TL;DR: A theory shows how the intrinsic rate of exponential population growth depends on individual metabolic rate and resource supply rate, and makes explicit the relationship between rates of resource supply in the environment and rates of production of new biomass and individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Biodiversity, Biochemical Kinetics, and the Energetic-Equivalence Rule
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the average energy flux of populations is temperature invariant and derive a model that quantitatively predicts how species diversity increases with environmental temperature, supported by data for terrestrial, freshwater, and marine taxa along latitudinal and elevational gradients.
