Male and female genital allometry in Habrobracon hebetor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2021
This is particularly apparent within the insects that show high variations in genitalic form between closely related species. Static allometry is one of the effective approaches for quantification of such variation.

Three-dimensional geometric analysis of felid limb bone allometry.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundStudies of bone allometry typically use simple measurements taken in a small number of locations per bone; often the midshaft diameter or joint surface area is compared to body mass or bone length.

Patterns of ontogenetic evolution across extant marsupials reflect different allometric pathways to ecomorphological diversity

Nature Communications, 2023
The relatively high level of morphological diversity in Australasian marsupials compared to that observed among American marsupials remains poorly understood.

Recognition of ecosystem functional optima allows early detection of eutrophication in coral reef lagoons using seagrass meadows as bioindicators

iScience
Summary: An analysis of the impact on seagrass ecosystems of the high nutrient levels recently reported for the Mexican Caribbean revealed major structural, floristic, and community transformations over 20 years, but no adverse effects; rather ...

Commentary: The ecological and evolutionary implications of allometry

, 2022
Allometry—the study of proportional growth of body parts, and the relationship of body size to an organism’s morphology, physiology and behaviour—is a fundamental influencer of ecological and evolutionary diversity.

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.

Pantropical variability in tree crown allometry [PDF]

, 2020
Tree crowns determine light interception, carbon and water exchange. Thus, understanding the factors causing tree crown allometry to vary at the tree and stand level matters greatly for the development of future vegetation modelling and for the ...
