Comment on "Energy uptake and allocation during ontogeny".
We demonstrate that the model of energy allocation during ontogeny of Hou et al. (Reports, 31 October 2008, p. 736) fails to account for the observed elevation of metabolic rate in growing organisms compared with similarly sized adults of different species. The basic model assumptions of the three-quarter power scaling for resting metabolism and constancy of the mass-specific maintenance metabo...
متن کاملEnergy uptake and allocation during ontogeny.
All organisms face the problem of how to fuel ontogenetic growth. We present a model, empirically grounded in data from birds and mammals, that correctly predicts how growing animals allocate food energy between synthesis of new biomass and maintenance of existing biomass. Previous energy budget models have typically had their bases in rates of either food consumption or metabolic energy expend...
متن کاملTrade-offs in Energy Allocation During Lactation
SYNOPSIS. During lactation, mothers require energy to meet both maternal and offspring requirements. If a mother exports too much energy to dependent offspring (in milk), her weight loss may be excessive and maternal risk may increase. Conversely, too little energy allocation to offspring may reduce the growth rate or induce mortality of dependent offspring. This paradigm was evaluated in cotto...
متن کاملOntogeny of energy allocation reveals selective pressure promoting risk-taking behaviour in young fish cohorts.
Given limited food, prey fishes in a temperate climate must take risks to acquire sufficient reserves for winter and/or to outgrow vulnerability to predation. However, how can we distinguish which selective pressure promotes risk-taking when larger body size is always beneficial? To address this question, we examined patterns of energy allocation in populations of age-0 trout to determine if gr...
متن کاملEffect of morphological development on the locomotion function of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niluticus during early ontogeny
This study was conducted to investigate the hydrodynamic parameters and how morphological changes affect them in Oreochromis niloticus at the National Museum of Natural History-Paris in the winter of 2020. To record fish movement, a high-speed camera (1000 fps) with a macro lens was used. The fish trajectory was taken by calculating coordinates of a center point between the two eyes and kinemat...
