Liulaobei Formation size chart Liulaobei Formation size chart (digitally altered) Here is a size chart I made of various organisms from the Tonian aged Liulaobei Formation. This formation doesn't yet have an article, but it might fit with the Huainan biota (it is part of the Huainan Group), though I think that it might constitute a different biota.
Cervalces scotti size chart. It was as large as the modern moose, with an elk -like head, long legs, and palmate antlers that were more complex and heavily branching than the moose. [ 3 ] Cervalces scotti reached 2.5 m (8.2 ft) in length and a weight of 708.5 kg (1,562 lb).
The largest Alaska moose was shot in western Yukon in September 1897; it weighed 820 kg (1,808 lb), and was 2.33 m (7.6 ft) tall at the shoulder. [7] While the Alaska moose and the Asian Chukotka moose match the extinct Irish elk in size, they are smaller than Cervalces latifrons, the largest deer of all time. [8]
Alces gallicus, also known as the Gallic moose, [3] is an extinct species of moose, which has been found in Europe.It is believed to have lived in Pleistocene about 2 MYA. . This species was smaller than recent moose, but it had longer antlers than it's modern relati
The ancestry from L. cyclotis was more closely related to modern West African populations of the forest elephant than to other forest elephant populations, while the mammoth ancestry was basal to the split between woolly and Columbian mammoths, probably from shortly after the split between the ancestors of mammoths and Asian elephants.
Bergmann's rule - Penguins on the Earth (mass m, height h) [1] Bergmann's rule is an ecogeographical rule that states that, within a broadly distributed taxonomic clade, populations and species of larger size are found in colder environments, while populations and species of smaller size are found in warmer regions.
Compared to odontocetes, the efficiency of baleen whales' filter feeding scales more favorably with increasing size when planktonic food is dense, making larger sizes more advantageous. The lunge feeding technique of rorquals appears to be more energy efficient than the ram feeding of balaenid whales; the latter technique is used with less ...
Allometry (Ancient Greek ἄλλος állos "other", μέτρον métron "measurement") is the study of the relationship of body size to shape, [1] anatomy, physiology and behaviour, [2] first outlined by Otto Snell in 1892, [3] by D'Arcy Thompson in 1917 in On Growth and Form [4] and by Julian Huxley in 1932.
