Beyond CREA: Evolutionary patterns of non‐allometric shape variation and divergence in a highly allometric clade of murine rodents

Ecology and Evolution
The shared functions of the skull are thought to result in common evolutionary patterns in mammalian cranial shape. Craniofacial evolutionary allometry (CREA) is a particularly prominent pattern where larger species display proportionally elongate facial

An allometry perspective on crops [PDF]

Understanding trait–trait coordination is essential for successful plant breeding and crop modeling. Notably, plant size drives variation in morphological, physiological, and performance-related traits, as described by allometric laws in ecology. Yet, as

Interspecific comparison of allometry between body weight and chest girth in domestic bovids

Scientific Reports, 2017
The sizes of body parts often co-vary through exponential scaling, known as allometry. The evolution of allometry is central to the generation of morphological diversity.

Bat genitalia: allometry, variation and good genes.

, 2004
Male genitalia are typically highly variable across species, for which sexual selection is thought to be responsible. Sexually selected traits characteristically show positive allometry and high phenotypic variation, although genitalia seem to be ...

Ontogenetic allometry in the foot size of Oligoryzomys flavescens (Waterhouse, 1837) (Rodentia, Sigmodontinae)

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Ontogenetic allometry is the study of how the size or shape of certain structures changes over the course of an animal’s development. In this study, using Huxley's formula of allometric growth (1932), we assessed the changes in the rate of growth of the ...

Humeral Length Allometry in African Hominids (sensu lato) with Special Reference to A.L. 288-1 and Liang Bua 1.

PaleoAnthropology, 2012
We have previously argued that the femora of A.L. 288-1 (“Lucy,” referred to Australopithecus afarensis) and Liang Bua (LB) 1 (holotype of Homo floresiensis) have lengths near those expected for modern humans of their diminutive size.

Shoot allometry of Jatropha curcas

, 2010
The South African government has banned planting of Jatropha curcas L. (Jatropha), potentially a multipurpose tree and biofuel source, owing to insufficient knowledge about the species.
