| Abstract
|
:
|
"The Dynamic Energy Budget theory unifies the commonalities between organisms, as prescribed by the implications of energetics, and links different levels of biological organization (cells, organisms and populations). The theory presents simple mechanistic rules that describe the uptake and use of energy and nutrients and the consequences for physiological organization throughout an organisms's life cycle, including the energetics of aging and contact with toxic compounds.

|
In each case, the theory is developed in elementary mathematical terms, but a more detailed discussion of the methodological aspects of mathematical modelling is also included making the book suitable for biologists and mathematicians with a broad interest in both fundamental and applied quantitative problems in biology."--Jacket.

In this new edition, the theory has been broadened to encompass both energy and mass fluxes. All living organisms are now covered in a single quantitative framework, the predictions of which are tested against a range of experimental results at various levels of biological organization. The theory explains many general observations, such as the body size scaling relationships of certain physiological traits, and provides a theoretical underpinning to the widely used method of indirect calorimetry.
