AbstractThe scaling of organismal metabolic rates with body size is one of the most prominent empirical patterns in biology. For over a century, the nature and causes of metabolic scaling have been the subject of much focus and debate. West, Brown, and Enquist (WBE) proposed a general model for the origin of metabolic scaling from branching vascular networks.
