Abstract

Over a wide range of living species from rotifer to sequoia it was shown that there is positive correlation between species longevity and linear size (r = 0.93, n = 186), as well as between species longevity and mass (r = 0.94, n = 37). Real slope of correlation line longevity on mass may be near 0.27. So, for all studied species exist the general low- the more its mass (or weight, or volume), the longer its life span. It is possible that between mass (or volume) and longevity of living things there is causal relation.

摘要

在从轮虫到红杉的广泛生物物种范围内，研究表明物种寿命与线性大小之间存在正相关（r = 0.93，n = 186），物种寿命与质量之间也存在正相关（r = 0.94，n = 37）。寿命与质量的相关线的实际斜率可能接近0.27。因此，对于所有研究的物种来说，存在一个普遍规律——其质量（或重量、或体积）越大，寿命就越长。生物的质量（或体积）与寿命之间可能存在因果关系。
