Description: The concept of physiological time was introduced by Hill ( 1951). He reasoned that as metabolic rate and longevity change with body size, time itself may be scaled. Hence, spans such as growth to maturity, ges- tation period and the time required for digestion transpire on a time scale dependent upon the body size of an animal. Since Hills’ hypothesis, many of these rate variables have been examined in birds and mammals and related allometrically to their body size (Stahl 1962, Aschoff and Pohl 1970, Calder 1974).
