  1. defecation feeding food faeces assimilation reserve somatic maintenance maturity maintenance  1- maturation reproduction growth maturity offspring structure Standard DEB model

  2. Feeding • Feeding has two aspects • disappearance of food (for food dynamics): JX,F • appearance of substrate for metabolic processing: JX,A= JX,F • Faeces • cannot come out of an animal, because it was never in it • is treated as a product that is linked to assimilation: JP,F= yPX JX,F

  3. Busy periods not only include handling but also digestion and other metabolic processing Feeding arrival events of food items fast SU binding prob. 0 time slow SU binding prob. 0 time

  4. Assimilation • Definition: • Conversion of substrate(s) (food, nutrients, light) into reserve(s) • Energy to fuel conversion is extracted from substrates • Implies: products associated with assimilation (e.g. faeces, CO2) • Depends on: • substrate availability • structural (fixed part of) surface area (e.g. surface area of gut) • Consequence of strong homeostasis: • Fixed conversion efficiency for fixed composition of substrate • However, biomass composition is not fixed • many species feed on biomass

  5. Assimilation food density saturation constant structural volume reserve yield of E on X

  6. Reserve dynamics & allocation Increase: assimilation  structural surface area Decrease: mobilisation  reserve-structure interface Change in reserve density  structural length-1 Reserve dynamics follows from weak homeostasis of biomass = structure + reserve -rule for allocation to soma: constant fraction of mobilisation rate

Or: • What is fate of resources • in juveniles? Growth: Von Bertalanffy Age, d Age, d

  10. Somatic maintenance • Definition of maintenance (somatic and maturity): • Collection of processes not associated with net production • Overall effect: reserve  excreted products (e.g. CO2, NH3) • Somatic maintenance comprises: • protein turnover (synthesis, but no net synthesis) • maintaining conc gradients across membranes (proton leak) • maintaining defence systems (immune system) • (some) product formation (leaves, hairs, skin flakes, moults) • movement (usually less than 10% of maintenance costs) • Somatic maintenance costs paid from flux JE,C: •  structural volume (mosts costs), pM •  surface area (specific costs: heating, osmo-regulation), pT

  11. Maturity maintenance • Definition of maturity maintenance: • Collection of processes required to maintain • current state of maturity • Maturity maintenance costs paid from flux (1-)JE,C: •  maturity • constant in adults (even if they grow) • Else: size at transition depends on history of food intake

  13. Growth Definition: Conversion of reserve(s) into structure(s) Energy to fuel conversion is extracted from reserve(s) Implies: products associated with growth (e.g. CO2, NH3) Allocation to growth: Consequence of strong homeostasis: Fixed conversion efficiency

Mouse goes preying 2.1c On the island Gough, the house mouse Mus musculus preys on chicks of seabirds, Tristan albatross Diomedea dabbenena Atlantic petrel Pterodroma incerta The bird weights are 250  the mouse weight of 40 g, Mice typically weigh 15 g 99% of these bird species breed on Gough and are now threatened with extinction

  18. Metamorphosis The larval malphigian tubes are clearly visible in this emerging cicada They resemble a fractally-branching space-filling tubing system, according to Jim Brown, but judge yourself …. Java, Nov 2007

  19. Reproduction Definition: Conversion of adult reserve(s) into embryonic reserve(s) Energy to fuel conversion is extracted from reserve(s) Implies: products associated with reproduction (e.g. CO2, NH3) Allocation to reproduction in adults: Allocation per time increment is infinitesimally small We therefore need a buffer with buffer-handling rules for egg prod (no buffer required in case of placental mode) Strong homeostasis: Fixed conversion efficiency Weak homeostasis: Reserve density at birth equals that of mother Reproduction rate: follows from maintenance + growth costs, given amounts of structure and reserve at birth

  21. Maturity & its maintenance DEB implementation is motivated by 4 observations 1 Contrary to age, volume at birth or puberty hardly depends on food density. So stage transitions cannot be linked to age. 2 Some species continue growing after puberty. Other species, such as birds, only reproduce well after the growth period. So stage transitions cannot be linked to size. 3 Total cumulative energy investment in development at any given size of the individual depends on food density; this can be removed by allowing for maturity maintenance. 4 Ultimate reproduction rate is a continuous function of food density This demonstrates the existence of maturity maintenance.

  33. General assumptions • State variables: structural body mass & reserve & maturity • structure reserve do not change in composition; maturity is information • Food is converted into faeces • Assimilates derived from food are added to reserves, • which fuel all other metabolic processes • Three categories of processes: • Assimilation: synthesis of (embryonic) reserves • Dissipation: no synthesis of biomass • Growth: synthesis of structural body mass • Product formation: included in these processes (overheads) • Basic life stage patterns • dividers (correspond with juvenile stage) • reproducers • embryo (no feeding • initial structural body mass is negligibly small • initial amount of reserves is substantial) • juvenile (feeding, but no reproduction) • adult (feeding & male/female reproduction)

  34. Specific assumptions • Reserve density hatchling = mother at egg formation • foetuses: embryos unrestricted by energy reserves • Stage transitions: cumulated investment in maturation > threshold • embryo  juvenile initiates feeding • juvenile  adult initiates reproduction & ceases maturation • Somatic maintenance  structure volume & maturity maintenance  maturity • (but some somatic maintenance costs  surface area) • maturity maintenance does not increase • after a given cumulated investment in maturation • Feeding rate  surface area; fixed food handling time • Body mass does not change at steady state • Fixed fraction of mobilised reserve is spent on • somatic maintenance + growth (-rule) • Starving individuals: priority to somatic maintenance • do not change reserve dynamics; continue maturation, reprod. • or change reserve dynamics; cease maturation, reprod.; do or do not shrink in structure
