ISOMETRY OF EGG SIZE IN A TEXAS POPULATION OF THE TURTLE STERNOTHERUS ODORATUS THAT EXHIBITS A NEARLY FIXED CLUTCH SIZE [PDF]
, 2020 In evaluating optimal egg-size theory and the effects of anatomical constraints on egg size in turtles, pivotal questions concern the significance of the relationship of egg size to female body size and whether the relationship is isometric or ...

Impact of low sperm competition on male reproductive trait allometries in a bush-cricket
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background Studying reproductive trait allometries can help to understand optimal male investment strategies under sexual selection. In promiscuous mating systems, studies across several taxa suggest that testes allometry is usually positive, presumably ...

Canine evolution in sabretoothed carnivores: natural selection or sexual selection? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The remarkable elongated upper canines of extinct sabretoothed carnivorous mammals have been the subject of considerable speculation on their adaptive function, but the absence of living analogues prevents any direct inference about their evolution.

Allometry and morphological trait relationship in the sexually dimorphic Chinese dobsonfly, Acanthacorydalis asiatica (Wood-Mason, 1884) (Megaloptera, Corydalidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2019 Male insects with large weapons such as horns and elongate mandibles would be expected to invest more on such structures than other parts of the body for advantages in male to male competition for mating.

Cryptic complexity in felid vertebral evolution: shape differentiation and allometry of the axial skeleton [PDF]
, 2016 Members of the mammalian family Felidae (extant and extinct cats) are grossly phenotypically similar, but display a 300-fold range in body size, from less than 1 kg to more than 300 kg.
