Scaling mass and morphology in leaves: an extension of the WBE modelCharles A Price
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721, USA
Ecology 88:1132-41. 2007..Our results demonstrate that a general model based on the scaling properties of biological distribution networks can also be successfully applied to understand the diversity of leaf form and function...

Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:13204-9. 2007..Understanding how selection shapes hierarchical branching networks provides a general framework for understanding the origin and covariation of many allometric traits within a complex integrated phenotype...- A general integrative model for scaling plant growth, carbon flux, and functional trait spectraBrian J Enquist
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85719, USA
Nature 449:218-22. 2007..Our model provides a framework for predicting not only how traits covary within an integrated allometric phenotype but also how trait variation mechanistically influences plant growth and carbon flux within and across diverse ecosystems... - Evaluating scaling models in biology using hierarchical Bayesian approachesCharles A Price
School of Biology, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332, USA

The metabolic theory of ecology: prospects and challenges for plant biologyCharles A Price
School of Biology, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332, USA
New Phytol 188:696-710. 2010..Considering the theory as a whole, we argue that MTE has made a significant contribution in furthering our understanding of those unifying aspects of the structure and function of plants, populations, communities, and ecosystems...- Biological scaling: does the exception prove the rule?Brian J Enquist
1 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721, USA 2 The Santa Fe Institute, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501, USA
Nature 445:E9-10; discussion E10-1. 2007..Here we show that these conclusions misrepresent metabolic scaling theory and that their results are actually consistent with this theory...
