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.

Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2015 Purpose: The purpose of this exercise was to explore the utility of allometric scaling approach for the prediction of intravenous and oral pharmacokinetics of six dipeptidy peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors viz. ABT-279, ABT-341, alogliptin, carmegliptin,

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.

, 1996 The subject of allometry is variation in morphometric variables or other features of organisms associated with variation in size. Such variation can be produced by several biological phenomena, and three different levels of allometry are therefore ...

Male mate choice scales female ornament allometry in a cichlid fish
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background Studies addressing the adaptive significance of female ornamentation have gained ground recently. However, the expression of female ornaments in relation to body size, known as trait allometry, still remains unexplored.

Statistical origin of allometry
, 2011 The allometry relationship (AR) between two properties of a living network X and Y is X=aYb where one or both of the variables is a measure of size and the allometry coefficient a and exponent b are fit to data.

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.
