Allometry is the study of how these processes scale with body size and with each other, and the impact this has on ecology and evolution. Aa Aa Aa. Allometry, in its broadest sense, describes how...
1 Μαΐ 2005 · Scaling relationships (where body size features as the independent variable) and power-law distributions are commonly reported in ecological systems. In this review we analyze scaling relationships related to energy acquisition and transformation and power-laws related to fluctuations in numbers.
1 Μαΐ 2005 · Consequently it is central in determining the scale of biological phenomena, including the sizes and dimensions of structures and the rates and times of activities, at levels of organization from molecules to ecosystems.
1 Μαΐ 2005 · A quest for explaining such an important allometric relationship fostered new theories. McMahon (1975) developed the concept of elastic similarity, stating that the likelihood of elastic failure of support structures should be kept similar in animals of all sizes.
A wide range of analytical methods provide proximity or distance measurements among entities at successive layers of biological structure. A unified hierarchy of biological systems would ideally span all scales of biological structure and function within an organism.
27 Ιαν 2009 · Scaling in biology is an enormous subject, with a fascinating history. After Galileo's early strides toward understanding how geometry and size affect the mechanical soundness of structures, the method of dimensional analysis emerged during the industrial revolution.
2 Απρ 2018 · We define domain as the distribution of observations within the spectrum of one or more scale dimensions (note: this definition differs from the ‘domain of scale’ 3, which is 'a portion of...
