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 ...

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

Observation of Mammalian Similarity Through Allometric Scaling Laws [PDF]
, 2002 We discuss the problem of observation of natural similarity in skeletal evolution of terrestrial mammals. Analysis is given by means of testing of the power scaling laws established in long bone allometry, which describe development of bones (of length ...

The static allometry of sexual and non-sexual traits in vervet monkeys [PDF]
, 2014 Sexual traits vary tremendously in static allometry. This variation may be explained in part by body size-related differences in the strength of selection.

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.

Centric Allometry: Studying Growth Using Landmark Data [PDF]
Evolutionary Biology, 2021 AbstractThe geometric morphometric (GMM) construction of Procrustes shape coordinates from a data set of homologous landmark configurations puts exact algebraic constraints on position, orientation, and geometric scale. While position as digitized is not ordinarily a biologically meaningful quantity, and orientation is relevant mainly when some ...

Determination of the Biomass Allometry Equation and Carbon Calculation of Avicennia marina shrub in the Nayband Bay [PDF]
بومشناسی آبزیان, 2021 The study of biomass and carbon in mangrove forests is often performed by allometry methods. The allometry models in Mangrove trees are influenced by factors such as species, ecological conditions, and tree age.

A Hierarchical Allometric Scaling Analysis of Chinese Cities: 1991-2014 [PDF]
, 2017 The law of allometric scaling based on Zipf distributions can be employed to research hierarchies of cities in a geographical region. However, the allometric patterns are easily influenced by random disturbance from the noises in observational data.

Scale effects between body size and limb design in quadrupedal mammals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Recently the metabolic cost of swinging the limbs has been found to be much greater than previously thought, raising the possibility that limb rotational inertia influences the energetics of locomotion.
