  4. Metabolic rate 8.2.2 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)

  5. Feeding rate 8.2.2 slope = 1 Filtration rate, l/h Mytilus edulis Data: Winter 1973 poikilothermic tetrapods Data: Farlow 1976 Length, cm Inter-species: JXm V Intra-species: JXm V2/3

  6. Intra -  Inter-specific scaling

  7. Spectrum definition • individuals follow standard DEB model in homogeneous environment • kM = kJ; no reproduction buffer • max lengths represent random trials from exponential distribution • individuals eat other individuals in length-range linked to own length • background mortality has constant hazard rate • individuals with length below threshold feed on producers (constant) • individuals with length below threshold feed on producers+consumers • with a linear preference shift between the two thresholds

  8. Spectrum determination

  9. Parameters of spectrum

  10. Trials from exponential distribution Suppose that mean = 1, else multiply result by mean Expected value of the i-th ordered trial from a sample of size k

  11. Canonical community 9.4 Short time scale: Mass recycling in a community closed for mass open for energy Long time scale: Nutrients leaks and influxes Memory is controlled by life span (links to body size) Spatial coherence is controlled by transport (links to body size)
