Abstract
    Theories of dynamic energy budgets (DEB) link physiological processes of individual organisms, such as ingestion, assimilation, respiration, growth and reproduction, in a single framework. In this introduction, I summarise the most encompassing DEB theory developed so far [Kooijman, S.A.L.M., 2000. Dynamic Energy and Mass Budgets in Biological Systems. Cambridge Univ. Press, Cambridge.] and compare it with various alternative approaches. I further review applications of the DEB model to particular species and discuss what sort of data sets are needed and have been used to estimate the various model parameters. Finally, I argue that more comparative work, i.e. applying DEB models to a wide range of species, is needed, to see whether we can understand the variability in parameter values among species in terms of their ecology and phylogeny.
