Kozlowski and Konarzewski's arguments are based on a misreading of the work, he says, and criticisms that focus on one aspect, such as the structure of mammalian vascular systems, miss the key point, which is generality: “If we're wrong on quarter powers, why do they keep showing up in everything from life-history processes to evolutionary rates?”
In the most wide-ranging critique so far, published this April, two Polish researchers, Jan Kozlowski, of Jagiellonian University, Krakow, and Marek Konarzewski of the University of Bialystok, claimed that the theory's maths could not simultaneously contain both uniform terminal units and three-quarter-power scaling, that large animals built along such lines would have more blood than their bodies could contain, that biological scaling laws were not built around quarter powers, and that biological networks were not generally branching fractals.
Kozlowski doubts that simple theories can make precise predictions about the behavior of biological systems on large scales.
“I don't believe there's anything to explain—there's no universal scaling exponent,” says Kozlowski.
Kozlowski is the co-author of a theory that relates metabolic rate to cell size and the amount of DNA an organism has, one of several alternative explanations of the scaling of metabolic rate published since West, Brown, and Enquist's model.
