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.

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.

, 2020 Among vertebrates, placental mammals are particularly variable in the covariance between cranial shape and body size (allometry), with rodents a major exception.

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 As the application of allometry continues to expand, the variability in the allometry exponent has generated a great deal of debate in forest ecology. Some studies have reported counterintuitive values of the exponent, but the sources of such values have

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.

On the Relationship between Ontogenetic and Static Allometry [PDF]
, 2013 Ontogenetic and static allometries describe how a character changes in size when the size of the organism changes during ontogeny and among individuals measured at the same developmental stage, respectively.

Ecology and Evolution, 2016 Plant species aboveground allometry can be viewed as a functional trait that reflects the evolutionary trade‐off between above‐ and belowground resources. In forest trees, allometry is related to productivity and resilience in different environments, and

A Fractional Probability Calculus View of Allometry
Systems, 2014 The scaling of respiratory metabolism with body size in animals is considered by many to be a fundamental law of nature. An apparent corollary of this law is the scaling of physiologic time with body size, implying that physiologic time is separate and ...

Allometry of brain metabolism [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 Allometry refers to biological scaling relationships (1). With regard to metabolic rate, the earliest allometric studies demonstrated a complex inverse relationship between body size and resting metabolic rate (2⇓–4). Subsequent studies have focused, without much success, on describing the cellular mechanisms of this relationship.

The Allometry of Prey Preferences
PLoS ONE, 2011 The distribution of weak and strong non-linear feeding interactions (i.e., functional responses) across the links of complex food webs is critically important for their stability. While empirical advances have unravelled constraints on single-prey functional responses, their validity in the context of complex food webs where most predators have ...
