On weapons allometry and the form of sexual selection [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe study of trait scaling with body size (allometry) has a long history, and it has been argued that positive static allometry is an indicator of directional sexual selection.

Allometry correction in semi-quantitative analysis of dopamine transporter SPECT [PDF]
EJNMMI ResearchBackground Striatal specific binding ratios (SBR) are widely used to support the interpretation of dopamine transporter SPECT scans. Automatic SBR computation often involves using affine transformations to map the individual SPECT images to an anatomical

The worldwide allometric relationship in anatomical structures for plant roots
Plant Diversity, 2023 The cortex (i.e., absorptive tissue) and stele (transportive vascular tissue) are fundamental to the function of plant roots. Unraveling how these anatomical structures are assembled in absorptive roots is essential for our understanding of plant ecology,

Assessment of a Takagi–Sugeno-Kang fuzzy model assembly for examination of polyphasic loglinear allometry [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background The traditional allometric analysis relies on log- transformation to contemplate linear regression in geometrical space then retransforming to get Huxley’s model of simple allometry.

Monthly variations in growth pattern and condition factor of Periophthalmodon septemradiatus (Gobiiformes: Periophthalminae) living along the Bassac River in Viet Nam [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Periophthalmodon septemradiatus (Hamilton, 1822) is a unique mudskipper living in the mudbanks from estuarine to riverine regions in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), but there is no data on its growth patterns and condition factors that are helpful for

Variation in the ontogenetic allometry of horn length in bovids along a body mass continuum
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Allometric relationships describe the proportional covariation between morphological, physiological, or life‐history traits and the size of the organisms. Evolutionary allometries estimated among species are expected to result from species differences in

The genetic control of leaf and petal allometric variations in Arabidopsis thaliana
BMC Plant Biology, 2020 Background Organ shape and size covariation (allometry) factors are essential concepts for the study of evolution and development. Although ample research has been conducted on organ shape and size, little research has considered the correlated variation

Allometric growth in the frontals of the Mongolian theropod dinosaur Tarbosaurus bataar [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 Tarbosaurus bataar is a sister taxon of the well-studied theropod dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex, and numerous fossils of this tyrannosaurid have been discovered in the Upper Cretaceous Nemegt Formation of Mongolia. Although specimens of different sizes of
