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

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

Modelling tree height-diameter allometry of Chinese fir in relation to stand and climate variables through Bayesian model averaging approach

Silva Fennica, 2021
Tree height-diameter allometry reflects the response of specific species to above and belowground resource allocation patterns. However, traditional methods (e.g.

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.

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.

Data from: Australian rodents reveal conserved craniofacial evolutionary allometry across 10 million years of murid evolution

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

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.

Adaptation and plasticity in aboveground allometry variation of four pine species along environmental gradients

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

Allometric scaling and allocation patterns: Implications for predicting productivity across plant communities

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

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.
