A method for finding distribution of metabolic energy between organismal functions: application to birds' energy expenditures to counteract gravity and to support steady and short flights
Yuri K Shestopaloff
Production of energy (metabolism) and its distribution is vital for living organisms, both at individual level - between different functions of an organism, as well as between spec…

Metabolic Allometric Scaling of Unicellular Organisms as a Product of Selection Guided by Optimization of Nutrients Distribution in Food Chains
Yuri K. Shestopaloff
One of the major characteristics of living organisms is metabolic rate, which is the amount of energy produced per unit of time. When the mass of organisms increases, the metabolic…

Metabolic allometric scaling of multicellular organisms as a product of evolutionary development and optimization of food chains
Yuri K. Shestopaloff
Production of energy is a foundation of life. Metabolic rate of organisms (amount of energy produced per unit time) generally increases slower than organisms' mass, which has impor…
