Evolutionary Entropy: A Predictor of Body Size, Metabolic Rate and Maximal Life Span
Body size of organisms spans 24 orders of magnitude, and metabolic rate and life span present comparable differences across species. This article shows that this variation can be explained in terms of evolutionary entropy, a statistical parameter which characterizes the robustness of a population, a...
