Abstract The concept of a geometric series (GS) plays an important role in mathematics. However, it has been neglected describing biological size series. Herein, we show that GS describes the nonreproductive (perianth) parts flowers four Magnoliaceae species and two Rosaceae leaves 60 Alangium chinense Shibataea chinensis shoots. sorted areas floral formed sequence was fitted by with mean quotients adjacent members as common ratio GS. absolute percent error (MAPE) used to measure goodness...
Abstract Background and Aims Leaf area (A) is a crucial indicator of the photosynthetic capacity plants. The Montgomery equation (ME), which hypothesizes that A proportional to product leaf length (L) width (W), valid tool for non-destructively measuring many broadleaved At present, methods used compute L W ME can be broadly divided into two kinds: using computer recognition manually. However, potential difference in prediction accuracy either method has not been thoroughly examined previous...
The Lorenz curve is used to describe the relationship between cumulative proportion of household income and number households an economy. extent which deviates from line equality (i.e., y = x) quantified by Gini coefficient. Prior models are based on simulated empirical data distributions. In biology, curves cell or organ size distributions tend have similar shapes. When rotated 135 degrees counterclockwise shifted right a distance 2, three-parameter performance equation (PE), its...
Previous studies have validated a performance equation (PE) and its generalized version (GPE) in describing the rotated right-shifted Lorenz curves of organ size (e.g., leaf area fruit volume) distributions herbaceous plants. Nevertheless, there are still two questions that not been adequately addressed by prior work: (i) whether PE GPE apply to woody plant species (ii) how do perform comparison with other equations when fitting data. To address these deficiencies, we measured lamina length...
Abstract Premise Although previous studies have reported a positive correlation between leaf dry mass per unit area (LMA) and mean thickness (LT), the LMA versus LT scaling relationship has not been determined due to limited sample sizes, despite its importance in estimating bulk tissue density (mass volume). Methods This issue was addressed using 174 185 leaves from each of nine phylogenetically diverse species investigate vs. relationship. For leaf, lamina measured at 12 positions...
Abstract The performance of various life processes in arthropods is greatly influenced by temperature. survival temperature-dependent, which must be accounted for when predicting and simulating outbreaks pest population under global warming scenarios. However, mathematical models describing temperature-dependent arthropod are still lacking. 5-parameter equation (PE), was originally proposed to describe the influence temperature on jumping distance green frog, can generate symmetrical...
