The optimal combination of standard metabolic rate and aerobic scope for somatic growth depends on food availability
2015-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Metabolic rates can vary as much as threefold among individuals of the same size and age in a population, but why such variation persists is unclear given that they determine the energetic cost of living. Relationships between standard metabolic rate (SMR), growth and survival can vary with environmental conditions, suggesting that the fitness consequences of a given metabolic phenotype may be context‐dependent.
