哺乳动物的基础代谢率随体重异速生长而增加，与选择用于分析的分类水平无关。物种对异速生长曲线（相对基础代谢率）的偏离与饮食、栖息地和分类亲和力的差异有关。当控制与分类学的相关性时，唯一持续存在的显著关联是脊椎动物进食者的相对基础代谢率较高。
Basal metabolic rate in mammals increases allometrically with body weight, irrespective of the taxonomic level chosen for analysis. Species' deviations from the allometric curve (relative basal metabolic rates) are associated with differences in diet, habitat and taxonomic affinity. When correlations with taxonomy are controlled for, the only consistently significant association that remains is the higher relative basal metabolic rates of vertebrate eaters.
