Scaling of organ masses in mammals and birds: phylogenetic signal and implications for metabolic rate scaling
The persistent enigma of why the whole-body metabolic rate increases hypoallometrically with body mass should be solved on both the ultimate and proximate levels. The proximate mechanism may involve hyperallometric scaling of metabolically inert tissue/organ masses, hypoallometric sc...
