Lauro A. Barbosa, José F. Fontanari
Axelrod's model for culture dissemination offers a nontrivial answer to the question of why there is cultural diversity given that people's beliefs have a tendency to become more s…
Non-universal Interspecific Allometric Scaling of Metabolism
Jafferson K. L. da Silva, Lauro A. Barbosa
We extend a previously theory for the interspecific allometric scaling developed in a -dimensional space of metabolic states. The time, which is characteristic of all biologic…
Unified Theory of Allometric Scaling
Jafferson K. L. da Silva, Lauro A. Barbosa, Paulo Roberto Silva
A general simple theory for the interspecific allometric scaling is developed in the -dimensional space ( biological lengths and a physiological time) of metabolic states o…
On The Universal Scaling Relations In Food Webs

Lauro A. Barbosa, Guilherme J. M. Garcia, Jafferson K. L. da Silva
Allometric scaling is one of the most pervasive laws in biology. Its origin, however, is still a matter of dispute. Recent studies have established that maximum metabolic rate scal…
