Estimating population parameters of early villages in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic central and southern Levant
… chronology of population size, density and growth of these early villages. Several methodologies are explored, including those based on dwelling unit size and dwelling number; residential floor area per person; population density; and allometric growth formulae. The newly devised storage …

ΣΥΜΒΟΛΗ ΣΤΗ ΜΕΛΕΤΗ ΤΗΣ ΟΙΚΟΛΟΓΙΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΒΙΟΛΟΓΙΑΣ ΤΗΣ CALLIANASSA TYRRHENA (PETAGNA, 1792) (CRUSTACEA, DECOPODA, THALASSINIDEA)
… EXIST IN ABSOLUTE INDIVIDUAL AS WELL AS RELATIVE ALLOMETRIC GROWTH. FECUNDITY DEPENDS ON FEMALE SIZE. REPRODUCTIVE EFFORT (DETERMINED BY TWO METHODS) SEEMS TO BE RELATIVELY LOW. LARVAL LIFE IS ABBREVIATED WITH ONLY TWO PLANCTONIC ZOEAL STAGES AND ONE MEGALOPA. THE SUCCESSFUL PASSAGE TO MEGALOPA …

DISPERSAL MECHANISMS OF EMBRYONIC AND LARVAL BURBOT (LOTA LOTA)
… on hydrodynamic forces for dispersal. However, allometric growth patterns and larval behavior also plays a significant role in dispersal. The developmental timeline of dispersal mechanisms in burbot (<em>Lota lota</em>) larvae is crucial to understanding where they may settle in the Laurentian …

An analysis of correlated curve trend experiments in Eucalyptus grandis
… Zululand coast of South Africa were analyzed. Growth parameters were described as functions of age using Schnute’s generalized growth function and parameter estimates were described as functions of stand density. Growth attributes were used as moments of a probability density function to …

Osteohistology and Growth of Edmontosaurus and Assessment of Life History Changes in Hadrosaurid Dinosaurs
… new data and methods to investigate ontogenetic growth and test life history strategies in hadrosaurid populations from the Late Cretaceous of North America, with a particular emphasis on the integration of osteohistological methods with limb growth and size frequency distributions for inferring …

Gene action involved with reproduction and growth of brain and muscle in weight-selected lines of chickens
Genetic Variation influencing reproduction and growth of White Rock chickens was studied. The populations used were lines high (HH) and low (LL) selected for 56-day body weight, reciprocal F₁ crosses (HL and LH), F₂ crosses of the F₁ and dwarf populations (HD and LD) originating from lines HH and …

Time-Averaging and Morphology: Variability in Modern Populations and Fossil Assemblages of Mercenaria (Bivalvia)
… between morphologic variables, as well as allometric growth patterns. If morphology is static, then time-averaging will not increase variability or otherwise obscure patterns of morphologic variability. Testing the effects of time-averaging on morphology will help determine the reliability …

THE EFFECT OF PHYSICAL GROWTH, BIOLOGICAL MATURATION AND ETHNICITY ON CARDIAC PRE-PARTICIPATION SCREENING IN MALE PAEDIATRIC ATHLETES
… athlete ECGs. Study 4 (Chapter 7), using allometric modelling we present measures of cardiac chamber and aortic root morphology independent of body surface area, ethnicity, chronological, and biological age. We also presented chronological age independent LV and RV measures of function in …

Investigating the trophic ecologies of early life stages of small pelagic fishes in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem
… anchovy. Contrastingly, anchovy display positive allometric growth patterns in their cranial development at a younger age, suggesting a greater importance of particulate feeding on larger prey. These results provide an anatomical basis of how both the feeding ability and behaviour of these two …

The Cellular And Genetic Mechanisms Underlying Morphological Diversity Of Insects
… may contribute to differential leg growth during this period of time. Additionally, we were able to assign the importance of allometric changes at embryonic and post-embryonic levels with regard to the final adult morphology. We found that most of the differential T3 leg growth …
