Title: Patterns in DEB par values for AmP

Building on my acceleration lecture, I will review 4 other general patterns in DEB parameter values that have been found so far.
Apart from the physical co-variation rules, waste-to-hurry shaped Kleiber's 3/4-rule.
Patterns found in sharks show, however, why the body-size scaling of respiration is a poor predictor for other traits.
The supply-demand and altricial-precocial spectra are discussed.
Ideas are presented for why mammals evolved from altricial to precocial, while birds did so in the opposite direction.
