Interspecific allometric scaling in eDNA production among northwestern Atlantic bony fishes reflects physiological allometric scaling

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

Exploring Allometric Scaling Relations between Fractal Dimensions of Metro Networks and Economic, Environmental and Social Indicators: A Case Study of 26 Cities in China

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

Analytic theories of allometric scaling [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2011
SummaryDuring the 13 years since it was first advanced, the fractal network theory (FNT), an analytic theory of allometric scaling, has been subjected to a wide range of methodological, mathematical and empirical criticisms, not all of which have been answered satisfactorily. FNT presumes a two-variable power-law relationship between metabolic rate and

Genetic Association Analysis for Relative Growths of Body Compositions and Metabolic Traits to Body Weights in Broilers

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

Biomass allometric models for Larix rupprechtii based on Kosak’s taper curve equations and nonlinear seemingly unrelated regression

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The diameter at breast height (DBH) is the most important independent variable in biomass allometry models based on metabolic scaling theory (MST) or geometric theory. However, the fixed position DBH can be misleading in its use of universal scaling laws

Scaling Peak Oxygen Consumption for Body Size and Composition in People With a Fontan Circulation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Peak oxygen consumption (peak V̇O2$$ \dot{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{O}}_2 $$) is traditionally divided (“ratio‐scaled”) by body mass (BM) for clinical interpretation.

Effects of climate, biotic factors, and phylogeny on allometric relationships: testing the metabolic scaling theory in plantations and natural forests across China

Forest Ecosystems, 2020
Background Metabolic scaling theory (MST) is still in debate because observed allometric exponents often deviate from MST predictions, and can change significantly depending on environment, phylogeny, and disturbance.

Nutrient‐dependent allometric plasticity in a male‐diphenic mite

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Male secondary sexual traits often scale allometrically with body size. These allometries can be variable within species and may shift depending on environmental conditions, such as food quality.
