If the allometric coefficient describing the scaling relationship between the mandible length of the male stag beetle and its thorax length is 2.3, which of the following is true? Note: While many examples often result in a scaling relationship that looks like this Y = aM because many parameters scale with mass, it is important to note that parameters can scale with any measurement resulting in a power law where Y changes in proportion with mass/length/area/.. to the power b. In this case, Y = aL'. O As the thorax length of the stag beetle increases, the mandible length with be relatively shorter. O As the thorax length of the stag beetle increases, the mandible length will increase by the same amount. O As the thorax length of the stag beetle increases, the mandible length with be relatively longer.
