Comparative physiology

the proposal that the scaling exponent of metabolic rate with body mass shifts between surface-area and volume limits depending on an organism's activity level.

In comparative physiology, metabolic-level boundaries hypothesis refers to the proposal that the scaling exponent of metabolic rate with body mass shifts between surface-area and volume limits depending on an organism's activity level. This meaning comes from Glazier (2010) in Biological Reviews.[1]
