Standard and routine metabolic rates of roach __Rutilus rutilus__ for a wide size and temperature range (3β200βg, 5β23Β°βC) were analysed by automated, computerized intermittent flow respirometry. The mass exponent __b__ ranged from 0Β·68 to 0Β·82 for standard metabolism, and from 0Β·65 to 0Β·92 for rout
The nature of scaling between the organismal basal metabolic rate B and its body mass M, BpM a , is currently an important focus of debates in theoretical biology (Whitfield, 2001). For decades, it has been widely accepted that a ΒΌ 3/4 for virtually all groups of organisms (Hemmingsen, 1960;Kleiber,
