The allometry between secondary sexual traits and body size is nonlinear among cervids.

Biology letters - 1 Mar 2014

Lemaître J F, Vanpé C, Plard F, Gaillard J M

Abstract excerpt

Allometric relationships between sexually selected traits and body size have been extensively studied in recent decades. While sexually selected traits generally display positive allometry, a few recent reports have suggested that allometric relationships are not always linear. In male cervids, having both long antlers and large size provides benefits in terms of increased mating success. However, such attributes...
