Description:
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.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sousa, Tania -- Marques, Goncalo M -- Domingos, Tiago -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Sep 4;325(5945):1206; author reply 1206. doi: 10.1126/science.1169523.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Environment and Energy Section, DEM, and IN+ Center for Innovation Technology and Policy Research, Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisboa, Portugal.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19729640" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
