An unpublished document explaining the basis for an Eyring equation-based refinement to the Metabolic Theory of Ecology (MTE) framework. This idea would allow activation energy to vary across temperature, and hence, potentially account for the curvilinear nature of MTE temperature-rate/richness relationships while maintaining the chemical reaction-rate basis of MTE. I have since let this project go idle, but still think it is a cool idea worth picking up and sharing. I do not assume that math contained herein is absolutely without error.
