Surface/volume ratios are responsible for a lot of other things in nature, like the size/metabolism of mammals compared to the mean temperature of their habitat

Surface/volume ratios are responsible for a lot of other things in nature, like the size/metabolism of mammals compared to the mean temperature of their habitat. (Eg, even within the same species, larger specimens are typically from colder climates) EDIT: go figure, they have a related article: http://noticing.co/on-size-and-metabolism/ http://noticing.co/on-size-and-metabolism/
