The standard model of the dynamic energy budget theory for metabolic organisation has
variables and parameters that can be quantified using indirect methods only. We present …

" Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory is a formal theory for the uptake and use of
substrates (food, nutrients and light) by organisms and their use for maintenance, growth …

Models for energy uptake and use by animals implicitly specify all mass transformations,
given homeostasis assumptions. This is because mass fluxes can be written as weighted …

Abstract The Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory quantifies the metabolic organisation of
organisms on the basis of mechanistically inspired assumptions. We here sketch a scenario …

The Dynamic Energy Budget theory unifies the commonalties between organisms, as
prescribed by the implications of energetics, and links different levels of biological …

Metabolic organization of individual organisms follows simple quantitative rules that can be
understood from basic physical chemical principles. Dynamic energy budget (DEB) theory …

We review the most comprehensive metabolic theory of life existing to date. A special focus
is given to the thermodynamic roots of this theory and to implications that the laws of physics …

Dynamic energy budget (DEB) theory offers a perspective on population ecology whose
starting point is energy utilization by, and homeostasis within, individual organisms. It is …

The dynamic energy budget (DEB) theory for metabolic organisation specifies quantitatively
the processes of uptake of substrate by organisms and its use for the purpose of …

All living organisms use fuels to maintain their life cycles. Consequently the source and the
fate of fuels used are of fundamental importance to biology, nutrition and biochemistry. A …
