Allometric exponents do not support a universal metabolic allometry.
The debate about the value of the allometric scaling exponent (b) relating metabolic rate to body mass (metabolic rate = a x mass(b)) is ongoing, with published evidence both for and against a 3/4-power scaling law continuing to accumulate. However, this debate often revolves around a dichotomous distinction between the 3/4-power exponent predicted by recent models of nutrient distribution netw...
متن کاملAllometry and Metabolic Scaling in Ecology
Body size affects the structure and function of all levels of biological organization. In ecological systems, body size strongly influences individuals (e.g. rates of individual growth, reproduction and mortality), populations (e.g. population growth rate, abundance and space use), communities (e.g. community abundance, food-web structure and interspecific interactions) and ecosystems (e.g. flu...
متن کاملEnvironmental modulation of metabolic allometry in ornate rainbowfish Rhadinocentrus ornatus.
The nature of the relationship between the metabolic rate (MR) and body mass (M) of animals has been the source of controversy for over seven decades, with much of the focus on the value of the scaling exponent b, where MR is proportional to M(b). While it is well known that MR does not generally scale isometrically (i.e. b is seldom equal to 1), the value of b remains the subject of heated deb...
متن کاملDefense against Universal Adversarial Perturbations
Recent advances in Deep Learning show the existence of image-agnostic quasi-imperceptible perturbations that when applied to ‘any’ image can fool a state-of-the-art network classifier to change its prediction about the image label. These ‘Universal Adversarial Perturbations’ pose a serious threat to the success of Deep Learning in practice. We present the first dedicated framework to effectivel...
متن کاملPriority Setting for Universal Health Coverage: We Need Evidence-Informed Deliberative Processes, Not Just More Evidence on Cost-Effectiveness
Priority setting of health interventions is generally considered as a valuable approach to support low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in their strive for universal health coverage (UHC). However, present initiatives on priority setting are mainly geared towards the development of more cost-effectiveness information, and this evidence does not sufficiently support countries to make optimal...
