Dynamic Energy Budget Theory for Metabolic Organisation

Klappentext The Dynamic Energy Budget theory unifies the commonalities between organisms! as prescribed by the implications of energetics! and links different levels of biological organisation. The theory presents simple mechanistic rules that describe the uptake and use of energy and nutrients and the consequences for physiological organisation throughout an organism's life.
