Examples of Datasets on Allometry

Examples of datasets on allometry, the study of the relationship of biological traits to body size. This package contains the datasets of morphological measurement taken from 113 maritime earwigs (Anisolabis maritima) by Matsuzawa and Konuma (2025) , and taken from 507 Helm’s stag beetles (Geodorcus helmsi) collected by Grey et al. (2025) .
