Book Description:

The technique of allometry investigates the effects of size on such variables as food intake, energy requirements, growth rates and age at first reproduction. This book brings together much of what is known about the consequences of size and provides a mathematically rigorous framework with which many quantitative predictions are made and tested using published and unpublished data.
