Utilizing geometric morphometrics to investigate gene function during organ growth: Insights through the study of beetle horn shape allometry.

Abstract excerpt

Static allometry is a major component of morphological variation. Much of the literature on the development of allometry investigates how functional perturbations of diverse pathways affect the relationship between trait size and body size. Often, this is done with the explicit objective to identify developmental mechanisms that enable the sensing of organ size and the regulation of relative growth. However,...
