Abstract

We derive a general model, based on principles of biochemical kinetics and allometry, that characterizes the effects of temperature and body mass on metabolic rate. The model fits metabolic rates of microbes, ectotherms, endotherms (including those in hibernation), and plants in temperatures ranging from 0° to 40°C. Mass- and temperature-compensated resting metabolic rates of all organisms are similar: The lowest (for unicellular organisms and plants) is separated from the highest (for endothermic vertebrates) by a factor of about 20. Temperature and body size are primary determinants of biological time and ecological roles.

Metabolic rates were measured as resting rates using oxygen consumption in animals and unicells and oxygen consumption or carbon dioxide production in plants. A respiratory coefficient of 1 was used to convert CO 2 production to O 2 consumption in plants. A density of 1.43 g/l for O 2 and 1.97 g/l for CO 2 was used to convert various units to ml/hour. A factor of 0.335 W/g was used to convert ml/hour to W/g 3/4 . Unicell mass was sometimes estimated from volume using a density of 1 g/ml. Metabolic rates of fish were stipulated as standard rates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
