Evolution of metabolic scaling among the tetrapod: effect of phylogeny, the geologic time of class formation, and uniformity of species within a class

Abstract: The metabolic scaling in the animal has been discussed for over 90 years, but no consensus has been reached. Our analysis of 2126 species of vertebrates reveals a significant allometric exponent heterogeneity. We show that classes of terrestrial vertebrates exhibit the evolution of metabolic scaling. Both the allometric coefficient “a” and the allometric exponent “b” change naturally, but differently depending on the geological time of group formation. The allometric coefficient “a” shows the measure of the ev… Show more

“…Different groups, data sets, standardizations, and analytical approaches have provided different answers [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 10 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. The association of scaling parameters with evolutionary age has been studied by Zotin et al [ 24 , 28 ], Atanasov and Dimitrov [ 29 ], Ueda et al [ 39 ], and Gavrilov et al [ 68 ] on animals of different classes. In this report, we have applied three different methods of determining the metabolic rate and two methods of determining the slope in six groups of endothermic animals only.…”

“…To establish a BMR dataset we combined the available databases of BMR of birds and mammals. We conducted a survey of the available databases of the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of birds [ 68 ]. We selected only data collected from adult, post-absorptive, resting individuals within their thermoneutral zones, because these criteria are required for metabolic rate measurements to be basal [ 80 ].…”
