Allometric convergence in savanna trees and implications for the use of plant scaling models in variable ecosystems. by Andrew T Tredennick, Lisa Patrick Bentley, Niall P Hanan

“…When we compare empirical scaling exponents to the theoretical predictions from the three models we find MST predictions are most consistent with our observed allometries. In those situations where observations are inconsistent with MST we find that departure from theory corresponds with expected tradeoffs related to disturbance and competitive interactions. …”

Root-shoot growth and time to transplant of different lettuce genotypes during nursery by Adalberto Di Benedetto, Danilo Carnelos, Jorge Lozano Miglioli, Pablo Fujinuma, Ernesto Giardina

“…The significant leaf area and dry weight accumulation found could be explained by growth parameters such as the rate of leaf appearance, the relative rate of leaf area expansion, the relative growth rate, the net assimilation rate and the partition coefficient from root: shoot allometries. Highlights Root restriction due to small plugs in transplant trays delay lettuce transplant. …”

Les objectifs et les critères de sélection : Les aptitudes bouchères : croissance, efficacité alimentaire et qualité de la carcasse by P. SELLIER, J. BOUIX, G. RENAND, M. MOLÉNAT

“…Cet article rappelle un certain nombre de données de base sur les aptitudes bouchères : courbe de croissance, évolution de la composition chimique et tissulaire chez l’animal en croissance (notion d’allométrie), énergétique de la croissance (relation entre efficacité alimentaire et croissance musculaire), développement des tissus musculaire et adipeux, qualités de la viande et du gras. …”

Combination of UAV Photogrammetry and Field Inventories Enables Description of Height–Diameter Relationship within Semi-Arid Silvopastoral Systems by Seyed Arvin Fakhri, Hooman Latifi, Kyumars Mohammadi Samani, Zahed Shakeri, Hamed Naghavi, Fabian Ewald Fassnacht

“…A linear relationship between UAV and extracted H and the maximum DBH of pollarded trees explained a notable part of the variation in maximum DBH (R² = 0.56), and more complex and well-known nonlinear allometries were also evaluated, for which the accuracies were in the same range as the linear model. …”

Covariación ontogénica en el endocráneo de Pan troglodytes / Ontogenetic covariation in the endocranium of Pan troglodytes by Marina Sardi, Jimena Barbeito-Andrés, Fernando Ventrice, Fernando Ramírez-Rozzi, Marisol Anzelmo, Anne-Marie Guihard-Costa

“…Through their configuration, centroid size and Procrustes coordinates were obtained, and Principal Components Analysis, regression, correlation, ANOVA and Goodall’s F-test were performed in order to evaluate size and shape changes against age and allometries. The results indicated that significant morphological ontogenetic shape changes are highly integrated and they occur up to the late ontogeny: elongation of the vault and the base, separation of the foramen magnum and the cribiform plate, retroflection of the basicranial angle, and descent of the temporal poles. …”
