Abstract

Hou et al. (Reports, 31 October 2008, p. 736) presented a model for energy uptake and allocation over an organism's growth and development. However, their model does not account for allocation to reproduction (essential to adults) and growth without assimilation (essential to embryos) and is therefore only applicable to organisms growing with abundant food in the juvenile stage.

摘要

侯等人（《报告》，2008年10月31日，第736页）提出了一个关于生物体生长和发育过程中能量摄取与分配的模型。然而，他们的模型没有考虑到用于繁殖的分配（对成体至关重要）以及无同化作用的生长（对胚胎至关重要），因此仅适用于幼体阶段食物充足时生长的生物体。
