摘要
The onto遺傳 growth model (OGM) of West et al. provides a general description of how metabolic energy is allocated between production of new biomass and maintenance of existing biomass during ontogeny. Here, we reexamine the OGM, make some minor modifications and corrections, and further evaluate its ability to account for empirical variation on rates of 代謝 and biomass in vertebrates both during ontogeny and across 物種 of varying adult body size. We show that the updated version of the model is internally consistent and is consistent with other predictions of metabolic 縮放律 theory and empirical data. The OGM predicts not only the near universal sigmoidal form of growth curves but also the 縮放律 of the characteristic times of onto遺傳 stages in 1/4 M addition to the curvilinear decline in growth ef
