This book is a magnificent synthesis of scientific information on the basis of Lavoisier's important dictum that respiration is a kind of combustion and the repeated mention of Malthus and "writers with a hate complex".
Ornithological ApplicationsA Re-Examination of the Relation between Standard Metabolic Rate and Body Weight in Birds
822 Citations1967Robert C. Lasiewski, William R. Dawson
King and Farner (1961) discuss the possibility that the avian relationship may be curvilinear in the lower ranges of body weight, since small birds have higher metabolic rates than predicted by their equation, and re-analyzed the relationship using more rigorous criteria for including data in their computations.

Preliminary allometric equations relating avian respiratory variables to body weight permit a series of tentative statements regarding avian respiration which were hitherto impossible.

The respiratory rates of birds are inversely related to their body weights (Groebbels 1932; Salt and Zeuthen 1960); Odum (1945) noted that birds breathe at lower frequencies than do mammals of similar weights.
