Jurnal Manajemen Hutan Tropika, 2019 The vegetative clonal teak is fast-growing, exhibits relatively uniform growth, and is sensitive to crown competition. The crown width dimension correlates positively with the size of the diameter (CW allometry).

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 scaling of postcranial muscles in cats (Felidae) I: forelimb, cervical, and thoracic muscles [PDF]
, 2016 The body masses of cats (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae) span a ~300‐fold range from the smallest to largest species. Despite this range, felid musculoskeletal anatomy remains remarkably conservative, including the maintenance of a crouched limb posture at

Pantropical variability in tree crown allometry
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020 Aim: Tree crowns determine light interception, carbon and water exchange. Thus, understanding the factors causing tree crown allometry to vary at the tree and stand level matters greatly for the development of future vegetation modelling and for the ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2002 We derive a new allometric scaling law for loopless networks, which we confirm with studies on rivers, exact network results and computer simulations. We provide evidence suggesting that ensemble averaging of the allometric property (where individual realizations are different networks) leads to results in excellent accord with the known limit scaling ...

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

Limb-Bone Scaling Indicates Diverse Stance and Gait in Quadrupedal Ornithischian Dinosaurs [PDF]
, 2012 Background The most primitive ornithischian dinosaurs were small bipeds, but quadrupedality evolved three times independently in the clade. The transition to quadrupedality from bipedal ancestors is rare in the history of terrestrial vertebrate ...

Factors regulating growth pattern and condition factor of an amphibious fish Periophthalmus gracilis living in the Mekong Delta [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Growth pattern and condition factor (CF) are essential to fish resource assessment but limited to Periophthalmus gracilis—an amphibious fish living in the mudflats along the Indo-Pacific regions, including the Mekong Delta (MD), Vietnam.

Ontogenetic scaling patterns and functional anatomy of the pelvic limb musculature in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) [PDF]
, 2014 Emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) are exclusively terrestrial, bipedal and cursorial ratites with some similar biomechanical characteristics to humans. Their growth rates are impressive, as their body mass increases eighty-fold from hatching to adulthood ...

Size, shape, and form: concepts of allometry in geometric morphometrics
Development, Genes and Evolution, 2016 Allometry refers to the size-related changes of morphological traits and remains an essential concept for the study of evolution and development.
