The findings suggest that within species E/rho variation may influence H(crit) and the scaling exponent between D and H(crit) so important in assumptions regarding allometric relationships. The model presented may provide a useful means of determining variation in E, E/rho and H(crit) across environmental gradients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
