the finding that whole-colony metabolic rate, growth and life history of social insects scale with colony mass much as they scale with body mass in single organisms.

In entomology, superorganism metabolic allometry refers to the finding that whole-colony metabolic rate, growth and life history of social insects scale with colony mass much as they scale with body mass in single organisms. This meaning comes from Hou (2010) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[1]
