| has gloss | eng: Kleibers law, named after Max Kleibers biological work in the early 1930s, is the observation that, for the vast majority of animals, an animals metabolic rate scales to the ¾ power of the animals mass. Symbolically: if q0 is the animals metabolic rate, and M the animals mass, then Kleiber's law states that q0 ~ M¾. Thus a cat, having a mass 100 times that of a mouse, will have a metabolism roughly 31 times greater than that of a mouse. In plants, the exponent is found to be close to 1. |

| has gloss | isl: Lögmál Kleibers er lögmál sem þjóðverjinn Max Kleiber setti fram uppúr 1930 um að efnakiptahraði flestra dýra aukist í hlutfalli við líkamsþunga þeirra í ¾-veldi og þannig þurfi stór dýr hlutfallslega minni orku en minni dýr. Þetta er vegna þess að orkuþörf dýra ræðst af yfirborði þeirra miðað við rúmmál. Þannig þarf mús hlutfallslega meiri orku en fíll. |

| has gloss | nld: De wet van Kleiber is een fysiologische wet die het verband tussen massa en stofwisseling van dieren beschrijft. De wet zegt dat hoe groter de levensvorm, hoe evenredig minder energie er wordt verbruikt. Het is genoemd naar de Max Kleiber en gebaseerd op diens werk op het gebied van de biologie in het begin van de jaren dertig. |
