New horizons for aerobic fitness normalization in children: Breaking the paradigm
Revista Brasileira de Cineantropometria e Desempenho Humano, 2014 Traditional methods to normalize aerobic fitness (VO2max) have been considered inadequate for not properly adjusting the effects of body size in children, adolescents and adults.

Allometric escape from acoustic constraints is rare for frog calls
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Allometric constraint is a product of natural selection and physical laws, particularly with respect to body size and traits constrained by properties thereof, such as metabolism, longevity, and vocal frequency.

The origin of the allometric scaling of lung ventilation in mammals
Peer Community Journal, 2022 A model of optimal control of ventilation has recently been developed for humans. This model highlights the importance of the localization of the transition between a convective and a diffusive transport of respiratory gas.

Discerning electricity consumption patterns from urban allometric scaling [PDF]
, 2010 Allometric scaling relations are characteristic of all living organisms. Metabolic and heart rates, lifespan and many other physiological properties vary with body mass in systematic and interrelated ways, which usually take the form of a power law ...

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.

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 ...

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021 Accurate assessment of carbon stock of trees is essential to model carbon dynamics in the forest ecosystem. Estimation of carbon stock at regional level involves successive quantitative modeling at various scales.

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...
