Abstract
A reanalysis of data presented by Henneman (1983) to examine the relationship between intrinsic rate of increase and basal metabolism suggests there is no statistically significant correlation between the two variables when both are treated with comparable statistical techniques. In addition, I suggest there is no theoretical reason to expect a high correlation between basal metabolic rate and a population's maximum rate of increase.Year: 1984 PMID: 28311460 DOI: 10.1007/BF00379142
