Basically, the guage of how practical it is.
Take it to the cellular level, its not efficient for a cell to be massive, for a massive cell would require more energy to get things in, or to get stuff out. This would be inefficient and therefore cells are small in order to use the least amount of Energy, or ATP.
Now multiply this by a thousand and you get smaller creatures.
Also, gravity has an effect on animals, humans, plants, etc.

What are limiting factors?
A resource whose availability limits the size of a population is a limiting factor. Food is a limiting factor when there is not enough food available to feed the entire population. Any resource can be a limiting factor for population size.
What are the bases of classifying organisms?
