Comparative physiology

the proposal that metabolic rate across organisms depends on temperature through a single Boltzmann factor with a common activation energy, after body size is accounted for.

In comparative physiology, universal temperature dependence refers to the proposal that metabolic rate across organisms depends on temperature through a single Boltzmann factor with a common activation energy, after body size is accounted for. This meaning comes from Gillooly (2001) in Science.[1]
