The 3/4-Power Law Is Not Universal: Evolution of Isometric, Ontogenetic Metabolic Scaling in Pelagic Animals (2006, background): “However, empirical work reviewed in Riisgård (1998), Dodds and colleagues (2001), Bokma (2004), and Glazier (2005) suggests that the 3/4-power law is not universal, and should at most be regarded as a statistical rule or trend, rather than as an inviolable law.”
Bridging the gap between marine biogeochemical and fisheries sciences; configuring the zooplankton link (2014, background): “…comparative surveys of various animals and plants have demonstrated that intra- and interspecific values of the metabolic scaling often differ significantly from 3/4, varying from approximately 2/3 to 1 (e.g., Bokma, 2004; Glazier, 2005, 2010; White et al., 2006, 2007; Isaac and Carbone, 2010).”
Towards a functional and simplified allometry for estimating forest biomass (2006, background): “…practical consequences of the WBE approach have been hotly debated (Chambers et al., 2001; Van Noordwijk and Mulia, 2002; Makarieva et al., 2003; Bokma, 2004; Kozlowski and Konarzewski, 2004; Niklas, 2006a), but a recent study based on a world-wide list of 279 biomass allometric equations…”
Intraspecific temperature dependence of the scaling of metabolic rate with body mass in fishes and its ecological implications (2012, background): “…claims of universality of the mass dependence (¾ power law) as well as the temperature dependence (UTD) have been criticized for various theoretical and empirical reasons (Dodds et al. 2001, Bokma 2004, Clarke 2004, Oikos 121: 245–251, 2012 doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0706.2011.19882.x © 2011 The Authors.”
Beyond the ‘3/4‐power law’: variation in the intra‐and interspecific scaling of metabolic rate in animals (2005, unknown): “In a more recent analysis of fish (taxa unspecified), Bokma (2004) reported a lower average scaling exponent of 0.715, but noted that the 198 estimates he analyzed were ‘very unlikely to come from populations with identical b ’ (ANOVA: F197, 1342=7.33, P 0.001), a conclusion that was upheld when…”
Energy limitation as a selective pressure on the evolution of sensory systems (2008, background): “Basal metabolic rates (BMRs) have been measured in vertebrates, as have resting metabolic rates (RMRs) in invertebrates (see Lovegrove, 2000; White and Seymour, 2003; Bokma, 2004; Savage et al., 2004; Niven and Scharlemann, 2005; Chown et al., 2007).”
