The book is intended to be accessible to upper-level undergraduate, and graduate students, but also of interest to senior scientists. Its easy-to-read chapters and clear illustrations can be used in lecture and seminar courses. Together they make for an authoritative treatment that will inspire future generations to study metabolic ecology.

If you want a thorough, up–to–date coverage of research based upon the MTE and its many applications, this book is a must–read. (Ecology, 1 January 2013)
Intended to be accessible to upper–level undergraduates, the book should be widely–read by anyone who seeks a more powerful science of ecology. (British Ecological Society Bulletin, 1 December 2012)
The book is copiously illustrated, and the complex mathematics limited and treated discreetly so the nonmathematician can follow the logic. A necessary read for ecologists. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper–division undergraduates and above. (Choice, 1 November 2012)
James H. Brown is Distinguished Professor of Biology at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. He led the development of the Metabolic Theory of Ecology on which this book is largely based. He has a long history of research in biogeography and macroecology, taking a large-scale statistical approach to questions about abundance, distribution, and diversity.
Astrid Kodric-Brown is Professor of Biology at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. Her research interests include the behavioral ecology of freshwater fishes, especially the evolution of mate recognition systems and their role in speciation in pupfishes (Cyprinodon); the allometry of sexually-selected traits; and community structure and conservation of desert fishes.
