基于斐波那契递归增长模型,通过引入代谢锚点常数70,推导出阶段依赖的代谢率公式B(n)=70 M^{b(n)},解释生物发育过程中代谢标度指数的动态变化。

摘要:

在早期工作中,我们引入了一个基于斐波那契的离散个体发育模型,其中代谢标度指数$b(n)$被视为生物发育阶段的动态函数,并估计了选定哺乳动物物种的$b(n)$。在本文中,我们以补充目标重新审视这一框架。我们并非提出新的参数估计或统计拟合,而是提供一种教学性的、逐步推导的重构,从递归增长假设到阶段依赖指数$b(n)$的解析表达式。直接基于这些先前获得的指数,我们将Kleiber的经典结果纳入模型,将定律$B \approx 70\,M^{3/4}$(其中$B$表示基础代谢率,$M$表示体重)中的常数$70$解释为代谢“锚点”。这产生了形式为$B(n) = 70\,M^{b(n)}$的阶段依赖基础代谢率,定义了一条将递归增长与标度变化联系起来的个体发育代谢轨迹。我们在概念层面上展示了这种锚定公式如何描述从早期阶段的强亚线性行为向发育过程中接近线性状态的转变,同时产生的基础代谢率在数量级上与不同大小哺乳动物的报告值一致。通过这种方式,本文提供了该模型的自包含和教学性呈现,强调了如何通过斐波那契式递归和代谢锚定的组合思想来理解代谢率的个体发育变化。

英文摘要:

In earlier work, we introduced a discrete Fibonacci-based ontogenetic model in which the metabolic scaling exponent $b(n)$ is treated as a dynamic function of an organism's developmental stage, and we estimated $b(n)$ for selected mammalian species. In the present article, we revisit this framework with a complementary aim. Rather than proposing new parameter estimates or statistical fits, we provide a didactic, step-by-step reconstruction of the derivation that leads from the recursive growth hypothesis to analytical expressions for the stage-dependent exponent $b(n)$. Building directly on these previously obtained exponents, we then incorporate Kleiber's classical result into the model by interpreting the constant $70$ in the law $B \approx 70\,M^{3/4}$ (with $B$ denoting basal metabolic rate and $M$ body mass) as a metabolic "anchoring point". This yields a stage-dependent basal metabolic rate of the form $B(n) = 70\,M^{b(n)}$, which defines an ontogenetic metabolic trajectory linking recursive growth to changes in scaling. We show, at a conceptual level, how this anchored formulation can describe a shift from strongly sublinear behavior at early stages towards an almost linear regime as development proceeds, while still producing basal rates that are compatible, in order of magnitude, with those reported for mammals of different sizes. In this way, the paper offers a self-contained and pedagogical presentation of the model, emphasizing how ontogenetic changes in metabolic rate can be understood through the combined ideas of Fibonacci-like recursion and metabolic anchoring.
