The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

BIVARIATE AND MULTIVARIATE SIZE ALLOMETRY OF THE NILE FISH, (Chrysichthys auratus (Ceoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1809) FROM THE NILE AT EGYPT [PDF]

Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 1991
The bivariate size allometry of Chrysichthys auratus was estimated by the application of the power function equation of HUXLEY (1932) on certain - morphometric characters in terms of its parameters.

Are adult physiques geometrically similar? The dangers of allometric scaling using body mass power laws. [PDF]

, 2004
Human physique classification by somatotype assumes that adult humans are geometric similar to each other. However, this assumption has yet to be adequately tested in athletic and nonexercising human populations.

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Developing biomass allometric equations for small trees in mixed-species forests of tropical rainforest ecozone

Trees, Forests and People, 2023
Allometric equations for the small trees that dominate many forests recovering from disturbance, such as fire, are relatively rare, increasing the uncertainty of aboveground biomass (AGB) estimates in young regrowth forests.

Tooth row allometry in domestic rabbits and nondomestic lagomorphs: Evidence for a decoupling of body and tooth row size changes in evolutionary time

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Domestic rabbits of different body sizes differ disproportionately in the length of their tooth row or the length of their diastema. Abstract In various domestic mammals, smaller breeds tend to have proportionally larger teeth, whereas this is not a universal trend across mammals.

Height-diameter allometric equations of an emergent tree species from the Congo Basin [PDF]

, 2021
peer reviewedReliable tree height-diameter (H-D) allometric equations are a key tool for the estimation of forest productivity and Above Ground Biomass (AGB).

Brycon hilarii produced in hapas: effects in allometric growth [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Biometric evaluations are essential to determine the growth characteristics related to the weight and length of fish. This study aimed to determine the growth patterns of juvenile piraputangas (Brycon hilarii) produced in hapas within an excavated pond ...

Allometric Modelling of the Stem Carbon Content of Rhizophora mucronata in a Tropical Mangrove Ecosystem

International Journal of Forestry Research, 2020
Mangrove ecosystems are identified as important blue carbon ecosystems because they play an important role in carbon sequestration among the coastal ecosystems.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...
