Inter-species body size scaling • parameter values tend to co-vary across species • parameters are either intensive or extensive • ratios of extensive parameters are intensive • maximum body length is • allocation fraction to growth + maint. (intensive) • volume-specific maintenance power (intensive) • surface area-specific assimilation power (extensive) • conclusion : • write physiological property as function of parameters • (including maximum body weight) • evaluate this property as function of max body weight Kooijman 1986 Energy budgets can explain body size scaling relations J. Theor. Biol.121: 269-282
Body weight Body weight has contributions from structure and reserve If reserve allocated to reproduction hardly contributes:
Scaling of metabolic rate Respiration: contributions from growth and maintenance Weight: contributions from structure and reserve Structure ; = length; endotherms
Metabolic rate slope = 1 Log metabolic rate, w O2 consumption, l/h 2 curves fitted: endotherms 0.0226 L2 + 0.0185 L3 0.0516 L2.44 ectotherms slope = 2/3 unicellulars Log weight, g Length, cm Intra-species Inter-species (Daphnia pulex)
Initial reserve of an egg • Follows from: • maturity at birth equals a given value • reserve density at birth equals that of mother • State variables: • Parameters: • Problem: Given parameter values, find Theory in Kooy2008
Effects of nutrition scaled length at birth scaled age at birth scaled res density at birth scaled res density at birth scaled initial reserve scaled res density at birth
Reduction of initial reserve scaled maturity 1 scaled reserve 0.8 0.5 scaled age scaled age scaled struct volume scaled age
Scaling relationships log scaled initial reserve log scaled age at birth log zoom factor, z log zoom factor, z approximate slope at large zoom factor log scaled length at birth log zoom factor, z
Incubation time: intra-species Eudyptes first lays a small egg, then a large one, which hatches earlier if fertile It can rise one chick only If all parameters are the same, maturity at birth is reached earlier with big initial reserve
