Tree differences in primary and secondary growth drive convergent scaling in leaf area to sapwood area across Europe [PDF]
, 2018 open28siTrees scale leaf (AL) and xylem (AX) areas to couple leaf transpiration and carbon gain with xylem water transport. Some species are known to acclimate in AL : AX balance in response to climate conditions, but whether trees of different species ...

Allometric growth of protein, amino acids, fat and minerals in slow- and fast-growing young chickens
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2011 Allometric growth of body constituents and apparent efficiency of amino acid and nitrogen retention were examined in slow-growing laying-type cockerels (SG) and in fast-growing male broiler hybrids (FG) during the growth period from hatch to Day 22.

Length-weight relationship and condition factor of two sympatric Rutilus (Rrafinesque, 1820) species from Lake Skadar (Montenegro) [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2012 Two species from the genus Rutilus (Rafinesque, 1820), R. prespensis and R. albus inhabit Lake Skadar. The conditional factor (K) and length-weight relationships (LWRs) of 165 specimens were studied from January 2008 to January 2009. Based on the LWRs,

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.
