• Comparative morphology of the sagittal otolith in Serranus spp. (2003, methodology): “To carry out this analysis, LT and allometry effects were avoided by normalizing all measurements to a LT, taking into account the allometric relationship (Lombarte & Lleonart, 1993; Lleonart et al., 2000).”
• New perspectives for estimating body condition from mass/length data: the scaled mass index as an alternative method (2009, methodology): “The standardization technique proposed by Lleonart et al. (2000) was originally conceived for comparative morphology, both for standardizing a specific trait from different individuals to the same body size and for adjusting their shape to that they would have at size X X0 when accounting for allome”
• Integration and Evolvability in Primate Hands and Feet (2009, methodology): “The scaling method employed scales all individuals in a group to the same size, and adjusts autopod element size and shape to account for allometric effects (Lleonart et al. 2000).”
• Otolith size and its relationship with colour patterns and sound production (2004, methodology): “For each species, the measurements obtained were standardized by removing the effect of LT and allometry (by normalizing all measurements while taking allometric relationships into account) (Lombarte & Lleonart, 1993; Lleonart et al., 2000).”
• Otolith size trends in marine fish communities from different depth strata (2007, positive): “relationships into account) (Lleonart et al., 2000).”
• Ecomorphological trends and phylogenetic inertia of otolith sagittae in Nototheniidae (2010, methodology): “For each species the measurements were standardized by removing allometry ( Lleonart et al. 2000 )a nd calculating a relative size index (OR) for each otolith according to OR=10,000OALT �2 (Lombarte and Cruz 2007),”
• Morphological variation among populations of Aphanius fasciatus Nardo, 1827 (Teleostei, Cyprinodontidae) from the Mediterranean (2007, methodology): “Parameter b was estimated as the slope of the regression of log10MO on log10LO using all fish in all groups, but allowing the intercept to differ between groups (Elliott et al., 1995; Lleonart et al., 2000).”
