Domain-specific¶
- Rensch's Rule
- The allometric slope of larger-sex body size regressed on smaller-sex body size (on logarithmic axes, using reduced major-axis regression across species in a clade) is reliably greater than 1.0 in male-larger clades and less than 1.0 in female-larger clades
This sourceReview stating Rensch's rule in allometric form — a model II log-log slope of male on female size that most often exceeds 1 — across 40 clades, with exceptions concentrated in female-larger groups.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
