Abstract

Highlights: [•] There is no universal metabolic scaling exponent (α) for different species or taxa in the von Bertalanffy equation. [•] Use of 2/3 or 3/4 value for the scaling exponent α should not be decided merely based on the goodness-of-fit. [•] The logistic equation is a better model for describing the ontogenetic growth of animals and plants. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
