A partir del modelo dinámico del principio de alometría, en este trabajo se presenta la controversia sobre el escalamiento de la tasa metabólica respecto a la masa corporal (entre las leyes de Rubner y de Kleiber), se plantea una nueva argumentación para resolverla en términos de la estructura autosemejante de las redes de transporte e intercambio de material y se reflexiona sobre cómo el entramado alométrico provee un argumento en favor de la evolución biológica mediante cambios múltiples en toda la arquitectura de los organismos y no por la acumulación de pequeños cambios en este o aquel órgano.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Since they exhibe a strong correlation, allometry is the study of the variation of the anatomical and physiological dimensions in all the living beings; this allows us to approach the study of the organisms as a whole, not just as the simple sum of their parts. By assuming the dynamical allometry principle, in this paper we present a controversy dealing with the relationship between the metabolic rate and the mass of the organisms (between the respective Rubner and Kleiber laws). In here, we develop a series of novel arguments to solve it in terms of the structure of selfsimilar transportation and material exchange networks. This allows us to reflect on how the allometric framework provide an argument favouring the biological evolution by means of multiple changes in the whole organisms architecture, not just as the accumulation of slight changes in this or in that organ.]]></p></abstract>
