Size control mechanism in animals [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2016 It remains to be mysterious for years as how distinct animals and their organs attain proper sizes. About a decade ago, Science listed “Top 125” to-be-solved scientific issues and included “size control mechanism” into it. Elucidation of the molecular, cellular and evolutionary mechanism of size control in animals especially in mammals would help us ...

Scaling in animal group-size distributions
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 An elementary model of animal aggregation is presented. The group-size distributions resulting from this model are truncated power laws. The predictions of the model are found to be consistent with data that describe the group-size distributions of tuna fish, sardinellas, and African buffaloes.

Estimating the size distribution of plastics ingested by animals [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Abstract The ingestion of plastics appears to be widespread throughout the animal kingdom with risks to individuals, ecosystems and human health. Despite growing information on the location, abundance and size distribution of plastics in the environment, it cannot be assumed that any given animal will ingest all sizes of plastic ...
