The geometry of life: testing the scaling of whole-organism surface area and volume using sharks
The ratio of surface area to volume is a key biological parameter that underpins our understanding of physiology across all levels of biological organization. Surfaces control the rate of key reactions and processes operating within the body and between organisms and their environment. Our understan...
