Allometric scaling of intraspecific space use
Allometric scaling relationships enable exploration of animal space-use patterns, yet interspecific studies cannot address many of the underlying mechanisms. We present the first intraspecific study of home range (HR) allometry relative to energetic requirements over several orders of magnitude of body mass, using as a model the predatory fish, pike Esox lucius. Analogous with interspecific stu...
متن کاملAllometric scaling and biomechanical behavior of the bone tissue: an experimental intraspecific investigation.
INTRODUCTION Adaptation of bone to different loads has received much attention. This paper examines the consequences of differences in size on bones from the same animal species. METHODS The study was conducted on 32 canine radii. Their geometry, densitometry and mechanical properties were determined and one-way ANOVA was used to analyze their distribution by sex. Bending failure was observed...
متن کاملAllometric scaling of RNA, DNA, and enzyme levels: an intraspecific study.
The activities of oxidative and glycolytic enzymes show body size-dependent relationships across a wide variety of taxa; however, the mechanistic basis remains unknown. We sampled white epaxial muscle from rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss) spanning a 100-fold range in body mass. We measured activities of enzymes from aerobic and anaerobic metabolic pathways, RNA [total RNA and mRNA, pyruvate...
متن کاملAllometric Scaling in Biology
The design of living beings is not only a matter of molecular biology but also of geometry and physics. This was once more demonstrated with a biophysical model by G. B. West et al. (1) that had been fine-tuned to predict the famous scaling law of metabolism (2), namely a 3/4 power relation between body mass and energy consumption. While properties and predictions of the model are remarkable, a...
متن کاملAllometric scaling in-vitro
About two decades ago, West and coworkers established a model which predicts that metabolic rate follows a three quarter power relationship with the mass of an organism, based on the premise that tissues are supplied nutrients through a fractal distribution network. Quarter power scaling is widely considered a universal law of biology and it is generally accepted that were in-vitro cultures to ...
