Abstract: The evolution of sexually dimorphic traits is thought to have marked effects on underlying patterns of static allometry. These traits can negatively affect organismal survivability by creating trade-offs between trait size and performance. Here we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13984
Abstract: Allometric scaling describes the relationship of trait size to body size within and among taxa. The slope of the population‐level regression of trait size against body size (i.e. static allometry) is typically invariant among closely… read more here.
