A statistical model for the genetic origin of allometric scaling laws in biology.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Nov 2002

Wu Rongling, Ma Chang Xing, Littell Ramon C, Casella George

Abstract excerpt

Many biological processes, from cellular metabolism to population dynamics, are characterized by particular allometric scaling (power-law) relationships between size and rate. Although such allometric relationships may be under genetic determination, their precise genetic mechanisms have not been clearly understood due to a lack of a statistical analytical method. In this paper, we present a basic statistical...
