Dynamic Energy Budget Theory: Metabolism, Assimilation, and Growth in DEB Organisms

This document explores the Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory, emphasizing the metabolism of individual organisms, including assimilation, dissipation, and growth processes. It discusses state variables, fixed allocation rules, and priority maintenance rules affecting energy flows. Theoretical exercises encourage understanding of energy balances, stoichiometric relationships, and the dynamics of reserve density in relation to environmental variables. Contributions from renowned experts highlight the theoretical framework and practical applications of DEB in ecological and biological research.

  2. A DEB organismAssimilation, dissipationandgrowth • Metabolism in a DEB individual. • Rectangles are state variables • Arrows are flows of foodJXA, reserveJEA, JEC, JEM, JET, JEG, JER, JEJor structureJVG. • Circles are processes • The full square is a fixed allocation rule (the kappa rule) • The full circles are the priority maintenance rule. Feeding ME- Reserve Mobilisation Assimilation Offspring MER MaturityMaintenance Reproduction Growth SomaticMaintenance Maturation MH - Maturity MV - Structure

  3. 3 types of aggregated chemical transformations • Assimilation: X(substrate)+M  E(reserve) + M + P • linked to surface area • Dissipation: E(reserve) +M  M • somatic maintenance: linked to surface area & structural volume • maturity maintenance: linked to maturity • maturation or reproduction overheads • Growth: E(reserve)+M  V(structure) + M • Compounds: • Organic compounds: V, E, X and P • Mineral compounds: CO2, H2O, O2 and Nwaste
