Dimension Relations of Branches in Hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa (Sieb. et Zucc.)Endl.) [PDF]

, 1993
1993-11All the 114 branches of a 26-year-old hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa (Sieb. et Zucc.) Endl.) tree were cut along the stem. The following measurements were obtained on each branch : total length, clear length (length to the first fork of the second ...

Length-Weight Relationships and Condition Factors of Several Nigerian Fish Species

Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2016
The length-weight relationship and condition factor of Sarotherodon galilaeus and Oreochromis niloticus were observed in Strabag Lake. A total number of 365 individuals of the fish species were caught during the period of study with Sarotherodon ...

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.

An allometric smoothing function to describe the relation between otolith and somatic growth over the lifespan of walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) [PDF]

, 2007
We propose a new equation to describe the relation betweenotolith length (OL) and somatic length (fork length [FL]) of fish for the entire lifespan of the fish. The equation was developed by applying a mathematical smoothing method based on an allometric

MODELLING OF ALLOMETRIC EQUATIONS FOR BIOMASS ESTIMATE IN DECIDUOUS FOREST

FLORESTA, 2018
This paper aimed at testing and adjusting the allometric models for the biomass estimate in deciduous forest. The data result from seven 12 x 12 m plots, where 91 trees were cut down. Their diameter at breast height (DBH) was greater than 5 cm, and the measurement was made based on the DBH, total height (H) and total dry biomass (DAB) for each ...

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

Allometric scaling for predicting human drug clearance [PDF]

, 2005
Various modified methods have been proposed in response to criticisms regarding the practical applicability of allometric scaling, which is one of the most widely used approaches in predicting human drug clearance based on data from animal species.

Scaling and ecomorphology of lagomorph body shape and appendicular skeleton

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Body shape is one of the most prominent features of phenotypic variation. Yet, mammalian body shapes are poorly quantified and the underlying components contributing to its diversity and its relationship to other skeletal components are rarely tested.

Allometric equation for predicting aboveground biomass of three tree species [PDF]

, 2011
Allometric equations, which predict the aboveground dry biomass of a tree from its diameter and/or height, are needed to estimate carbon stocks in forests. Although pantropical multispecies biomass equations have been developed for tropical rain forests,

Allometric models for estimating aboveground biomass and carbon stocks of the semi-arid savanna woody species, Detarium microcarpum Guill. et Perr.

Scientific African
Quantification of plant biomass and carbon is critical for the savanna species. The lack of accurate biomass tools is a challenge for the savanna species. Information on allometric equations is limited for Detarium microcarpum species.
