1. Allometry studies the relative size of organs or parts of organisms.2. The use of allometry is widespread in forestry and forest ecology. 3. There is strong intraspecific allometry among Irish deer. 4. Allometry often studies shape differences in terms of ratios of the objects'dimensions.5. If the expected slope is outside the confidence intervals, then there is allometry present. 6. It would scale with positive allometry . 7. Tree allometry narrows the definition to applications involving measurements of the growth or size of trees. 8. On the concept of allometry , the study of the relationship of body size and shape, Thompson wrote: 9. Comparisons of species are used to examine interspecific or evolutionary allometry ( see also : Phylogenetic comparative methods ). 10. The study of allometry is extremely important in dealing with measurements and data analysis in the practice of forestry.
