| has gloss | (noun) the study of the relative growth of a part of an organism in relation to the growth of the whole allometry |
| has gloss | eng: Allometry is the study of the relationship between size and shape, first outlined by Otto Snell in 1892 and Julian Huxley in 1932. Allometry is a well-known study, particularly in statistical shape analysis for its theoretical developments, as well as in biology for practical applications to the differential growth rates of the parts of a living organism's body. One application is in the study of various insect species (e.g., the Hercules Beetle), where a small change in overall body size can lead to an enormous and disproportionate increase in the dimensions of appendages such as legs, antennae, or horns. The relationship between the two measured quantities is often expressed as a power-law: : y \propto x^a} \,\! or in a logarithmic form: \log y \sim a \log x \,\! where a is the scaling exponent of the law. Methods for estimating this exponent from data tend to involve a particular kind of principal component analysis. |

| has gloss | deu: Bei der Allometrie (von griechisch allos „anders“; metrie „messen“) geht es um das Messen und Vergleichen von Beziehungen zwischen der Körpergröße und deren Verhältnis zu verschiedensten biologischen Größen. So kann die Leistung eines Organismus beispielsweise nicht kurzerhand von klein auf groß übertragen werden. Auch die Größenverhältnisse innerhalb einer Art können nicht 1:1 umgesetzt werden. Würde zum Beispiel der Kopf vom Säugling zum Erwachsenen proportional zur Gesamtlänge des Körpers zunehmen, müsste unser Kopf circa 45 cm hoch sein. |

| has gloss | nor: Allometrisk vekst (allo = ulike steder, metro = distanse, avstand), er et begrep som blir brukt innen biologi. Ulike deler av organismens anatomi vokser og utvikler seg med ulik hastighet gjennom livsløpet (ontogenesen), men opphører som regel i større eller mindre grad når kjønnsmodning og/eller vekst er fullendt. Man skiller mellom to ulike former for allometrisk vekst, som på engelsk kalles for postdisplacement og predisplacement. Førstnevnte går inn under pedomorfose og innebærer at en eller flere strukturer blir hengende etter i utviklingen i forhold til resten av organismen. Sistnevnte går inn under peramorfose og innebærer at en eller flere strukturer blir gjenstand for sterkere og tidligere utvikling enn resten av organismen. |
