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 ...

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.

Evolution of morphological allometry [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2014 Morphological allometry refers to patterns of covariance between body parts resulting from variation in body size. Whether measured during growth (ontogenetic allometry), among individuals at similar developmental stage (static allometry), or among populations or species (evolutionary allometry), allometric relationships are often tight and relatively ...

Range-based techniques for discovering optimality and analyzing scaling relationships in neuromechanical systems [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper, a method for decoupling the neuromuscular function of a set of limbs from the role morphology plays in regulating the performance of an activity is introduced.

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.

Minimizing Bias in Biomass Allometry: Model Selection and Log‐Transformation of Data [PDF]
, 2011 Nonlinear regression is increasingly used to develop allometric equations for forest biomass estimation (i.e., as opposed to the traditional approach of log‐transformation followed by linear regression).
