Much of Weiner s work has focused on understanding variation in size and allometry among plants using models and experiments ( 1-4 ).
22.
This theory, too, was countered by Stephen Jay Gould, as he deemed the allometry theory to be very similar to the orthogenesis theory.

One example of positive allometry occurs among species of monitor lizards ( family Varanidae ), in which the limbs are relatively longer in larger-bodied species.
24.
Allometry is often expressed in terms of a scaling exponent based on body mass, or body length ( Snout-vent length, total length etc . ).

In 2015, a study compared the diversity of dental size, shape and allometry across the proposed domestication categories of modern pigs " ( Genus Sus ) ".

In addition to studies that focus on growth, allometry also examines shape variation among individuals of a given age ( and sex ), which is referred to as static allometry.

Using allometry, paleontologist Jun Liu found " I . sudamericanus " to be the largest known example of a growth series in " E . argentinus ".

To maintain a terrestrial lifestyle, a temnospondyl's limb bones would have to thicken with positive allometry, meaning that they would grow at a greater rate than the rest of the body.

Gillooly et al . ( 2002 ) described a general model also based on first principles of allometry and biochemical kinetics which makes predictions about generation times as a function of body size and temperature.
