Selection on weapon allometry in the wild.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2023

Emberts Zachary, Somjee Ummat, Wiens John J

Abstract excerpt

Allometry is the scaling relationship between a trait and body size. This relationship can often explain considerable morphological variation within and among species. Nevertheless, much remains unknown about the factors that underlie allometric patterns. For example, when different allometric relationships are observed amongst closely related species, these differences are regularly considered to be products of...
