Julian Huxley, Uca pugnax and the allometric method.

The allometric method, which often is attributed to Julian Huxley, entails fitting a straight line to logarithmic transformations of the original bivariate data and then back-transforming the resulting equation to form a power function in the arithmetic scale. Development of the technique was strongly influenced by Huxley's own research on growth by the enlarged 'crusher' claw in male fiddler c...

Remarks on the article of Packard: Julian Huxley, Uca pugnax and the allometric method.

The two-parameter model has a biological meaning, as explained by Huxley (Huxley, 1924); the three-parameter model has no biological meaning. I have show...

Arterial branching in man and monkey

Vessel diameters and branching angles are measured from a large number of arterial bifurcations in the retina of a normal human subject and in that of a rhesus monkey. The results are compared with each other and with theoretical results on this subject.
