Beyond the '3/4-power law': variation in the intra-and interspecific scaling of metabolic rate in animals

DS Glazier - Biological reviews, 2005 - cambridge.org
In this review I show that the '3/4-power scaling law'of metabolic rate is not universal, either
within or among animal species. Significant variation in the scaling of metabolic rate with …

Growth physiology and fate of diatoms in the ocean: a review

G Sarthou, KR Timmermans, S Blain, P Tréguer - Journal of sea research, 2005 - Elsevier
