Résumé :
|
The Dynamic Energy Budget theory is a unifying theory which links different levels of biological organisation (cells, organisms, populations) by considering the underlying energetics of living systems. The theory presents simple rules that describe the uptake and use of energy and nutrient throughout an organismÕs life. All living organisms are covered in a single framework, the predictions of which are tested against a variety of experimental results. The theory is developed in elementary mathematical terms, but a more detailed discussion of the methodological aspects of mathematical modelling is also included.
