Title: Introduction to Dynamic Energy Budget theory for metabolic organisation

Abstract:
In 4 lectures I will introduce DEB theory, 
   its principles, assumptions and some of its implications 

  1) preliminary concepts,
     required to link predictions to data

  2) outline of the standard DEB model
     a 1-reserve, 1-structure isomorph 
     that feeds on a single food source 

  3) implications and extensions

  4) co-variation of parameter values
