The Ecological Implications of Body Size - Cambridge Studies in Ecology
Robert Henry Peters
Larger animals eat more, live longer, have larger offspring, but these commonplace observations are rarely seen as a basis for scientific biology. Empirically-based relationships describe body functions as simple functions of body size but these relations have never been organised for use in ecology. This book presents the largest single compilation of interspecific size relations.
