Sensory adaptations reshaped intrinsic factors underlying morphological diversification in bats

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2021
Background Morphological evolution may be impacted by both intrinsic (developmental, constructional, physiological) and extrinsic (ecological opportunity and release) factors, but can intrinsic factors be altered by adaptive evolution and, if so, do they

Commentary: The ecological and evolutionary implications of allometry

open access: yes, 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.

Multiphasic allometry: the reality and significance of ontogenetic shifts in the body-mass scaling of metabolic rate

open access: yesAcademia Biology
Commonly observed multiphasic ontogenetic scaling of the rate of metabolism with body mass deserves increased attention because metabolism fuels all biological processes, including growth and development.

Assesment and interpretation of negative forelimb allometry in the evolution of non-avian Theropoda

open access: yesFrontiers in Zoology, 2019
Background The origin of birds is marked by a significant decrease in body size along with an increase in relative forelimb size. However, before the evolution of flight, both traits may have already been related: It has been proposed that an ...

Pantropical variability in tree crown allometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

A conceptual framework for mapping quantitative trait Loci regulating ontogenetic allometry.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
Although ontogenetic changes in body shape and its associated allometry has been studied for over a century, essentially nothing is known about their underlying genetic and developmental mechanisms.
