ALLOMETRIC CONSTRAINTS AND THE EVOLUTION OF ALLOMETRY

Morphological traits often covary within and among species according to simple power laws referred to as allometry. Such allometric relationships may result from common growth regulation, and this has given rise to the hypothesis that allometric exponents may have low evolvability and constrain trai...
