Allometric convergence in savanna trees and implications for the use of plant scaling models in variable ecosystems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Theoretical models of allometric scaling provide frameworks for understanding and predicting how and why the morphology and function of organisms vary with scale.

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022 The allometric scaling of the brain size and neuron number across species has been extensively studied in recent years. With the exception of primates, parrots, and songbirds, larger brains have more neurons but relatively lower neuronal densities than ...

Near isometric biomass partitioning in forest ecosystems of China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Based on the isometric hypothesis, belowground plant biomass (MB) should scale isometrically with aboveground biomass (MA) and the scaling exponent should not vary with environmental factors.

Environmental DNA, 2023 Relating environmental DNA (eDNA) signal strength to organism abundance requires a fundamental understanding of eDNA production. A number of studies have demonstrated that eDNA production may scale allometrically—that is, larger organisms tend to exhibit

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2021 Allometric scaling originates in biology, where it refers to scaling relations between the size of a body part and the size of the whole body when an organism grows. In cities, various allometric relations have also been discovered, such as those between

Animals, 2021 In animal breeding, body components and metabolic traits always fall behind body weights in genetic improvement, which leads to the decline in standards and qualities of animal products. Phenotypically, the relative growth of multiple body components and

Allometric scaling of mammalian metabolism [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2005 SUMMARYThe importance of size as a determinant of metabolic rate (MR) was first suggested by Sarrus and Rameaux over 160 years ago. Max Rubner's finding of a proportionality between MR and body surface area in dogs (in 1883) was consistent with Sarrus and Rameaux's formulation and suggested a proportionality between MR and body mass (Mb) raised to the ...

Scaling, normalizing, and per ratio standards: an allometric modeling approach. [PDF]
, 1995 The practice of scaling or normalizing physiological variables (Y) by dividing the variable by an appropriate body size variable (X) to produce what is known as a "per ratio standard" (Y/ X), has come under strong criticism from various authors.

Predicting food consumption and production in fish populations : allometric scaling and size-structured models [PDF]
, 2010 Life-history traits in fish populations are highly correlated. A subset of these correlations are called allometric scaling, they refer to biological processes which can be described using body size as independent variable.
