| The relationship of the growth of one part of an organism to that in another part is called allometry. |
| It is tempting to hypothesize that because the limb girdles display positive allometry, the protractor and retractor muscles attached to them did as well. |
| The major cheliped of males was larger than that of females and exhibited positive allometric growth to maturity, after which the level of allometry decreased. |
| The allometry coefficient is expressed by the exponent b of the linear regression equations. |
| Much of the metabolic rate in animals is dependent upon their allometry, the relationship between body size to shape, anatomy, physiology and behaviour of an animal. |
| The positive allometry of flight speeds ensures that translational speeds of volant vertebrate predators substantially exceed those of their insectan prey. |
