Measurement of the rate of growth of a part or parts of an organism relative to the growth of the whole organism. [2]

Change in proportions with body size. For example, the size of a stag’s antlers relative to its body size increases with body size.

Allometry describes a comparison of physiological or morphological ratios in living systems, (e.g. brain size to body size). Comparisons may be made over one individual's lifetime, among indiv [..]

(n) the study of the relative growth of a part of an organism in relation to the growth of the whole

change in a measurable aspect of an organism (such as shape) with increase or decrease in size.

Allometry is an important method for describing morphological evolution. It is the relation between the size of an organism and the size of any of its parts: for example, there is an allometric relati [..]

Generally, the effect of size on shape. Specifically, any relationship of anatomical variables that fits the equation Y = AXk (A is a constant, the exponent k the coefficient of allometry).
