"There is a mathematical formula which says if you tell me how big
something is, I can tell you — with some variation, but not a lot — how
long it will live. This doesn't apply to individuals, only to groups, to
species. The formula is a simple quarter-power exercise: You take the
mass of a plant or an animal, and its metabolic rate is equal to its
mass taken to the three-fourths power."
