Kooijman,S.A.L.M. — Dynamic energy budgets in biological systems. Theory and applications in ecotoxicology.

Cambridge, NY, Cambridge University Press, 1993. XIV,350 pp. Ills Orig. hardcover (boards). 8vo. Boards.Kooijman’s Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory provides a mechanistic, mathematical framework modeling how organisms acquire and use energy/nutrients for maintenance, growth, development, and reproduction throughout their life cycle. It unifies energetics across biological levels, offering a powerful tool to quantify toxicant effects (ecotoxicology) on organisms.
