Density-body mass relationships: Inconsistent intercontinental patterns among termite feeding-groups
Allometric relationships are useful for estimating and understanding resource distribution in assemblages with species of different masses. Damuth's law states that body mass scales with population density as M−0.75, where M is body mass and −0.75 is the slope. In this study we used Damuth'...
