Weight-Length Relationships in Fisheries Studies: The Standard Allometric Model Should Be Applied with Caution (2008, background): “The most widely used form of the weight–length relationship is the standard allometric equation ( Huxley 1932 ; Gayon 2000 ) expressing weight ( W ) as a function of length ( L ), that is, where a and b are coefficients determined by fitting the model to observations of length at weight.”

Evolutionary Morphology, Innovation, and the Synthesis of Evolutionary and Developmental Biology (2003, background): “40 For example, how does the concept of allometry fit within the morphological tradition and evolutionary theory (Gayon 2000; Gould 1966), and what are its relations to contemporary morphometrics, functional morphology, and EDB?”
