Evolutionary Ecology, 1998
Many life-history parameters have condition-dependent optima, but individuals are often required to set the values of such parameters relatively early in development, before the relevant conditions can be assessed with full accuracy. If cues are available that predict such future conditions, then the condition-dependent parameter should evolve to ...

Similarity, allometry and food chains
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1969So many different species are involved in environmental pollution problems that there is a need for general principles adequate to predict uptake and retention rates for large classes of organisms. With “metabolic body size” (weight to the three-fourths power) as a scaling-variable, the ratio of retention times in pairs of mammalian species is shown to

Forest Science, 1998
Abstract A theory of multivariate allometry is developed. Bivariate and multivariate allometry are then shown to be compatible, the defining differential equations being analogs of each other and invariant under analogous allometric transforms. The relevance of allometric equations to growth modeling is examined.

The allometry of rodent intestines
Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 2010This study examined the allometry of the small intestine, caecum, colon and large intestine of rodents (n = 51) using a phylogenetically informed approach. Strong phylogenetic signal was detected in the data for the caecum, colon and large intestine, but not for the small intestine.

Allometry designates the changes in relative dimensions of parts of the body that are correlated with changes in overall size. Julian Huxley and Georges Teissier coined this term in 1936. In a joint paper, they agreed to use this term in order to avoid confusion in the field of relative growth. They also agreed on the conventional symbols to use in the
