The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Bioelectric signaling regulates size in zebrafish fins. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 The scaling relationship between the size of an appendage or organ and that of the body as a whole is tightly regulated during animal development. If a structure grows at a different rate than the rest of the body, this process is termed allometric ...

Allometric Metabolic Scaling and Fetal and Placental Weight [PDF]
Placenta, 2009 We tested the hypothesis that the fetal-placental relationship scales allometrically and identified modifying factors. Among women delivering after 34 weeks but prior to 43 weeks gestation, 24,601 participants in the Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP) had complete data for placental gross proportion measures, specifically, disk shape, larger and ...

Estimation Issues in Allometric Scaling Models [PDF]
, 2020 Allometric scaling models are a common tool for describing and quantifying relationships between biological measurements. Recent years have seen a lively debate on the parameter values for certain relationships.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.A new musculoskeletal reconstruction and revision of the cranio‐mandibular anatomy of the Devonian arthrodire placoderm Dunkleosteus terrelli from a comparative and functional anatomical perspective. Dunkleosteus is a specialized arthrodire with many specializations for feeding on large vertebrates, and many of its features are part of broader ...

Evolving urban allometric scaling law of the COVID-19 epidemic in the United Kingdom
Journal of Urban ManagementInfectious diseases depend on intensified social intercourse within large cities, resulting in a super-linear allometric scaling law with city size. But how this scaling relationship changes throughout an evolving pandemic is seldom studied and remains ...

Allometric scaling of mechanical quantities with weight. [PDF]
, 2018 (a) Circumferential stress, (b) axial stress, and (c) circumferential stretch measured at λz = 1.5. (d) Minimum axial stretch at 100 mmHg. All data fit to a power law allometric scaling relationship with the coefficient of determination shown. All values

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...
