Static allometry of the horn and pronotal depression in adult Oryctes rhinoceros supports continuous nonlinearity, sexual dimorphism, and size-independent covariation

Exaggerated insect traits often show positive allometry, yet nonlinear scaling can reflect either continuous curvature or discrete morphs. Distinguishing between these alternatives is important because they imply different developmental and evolutionary scenarios. Using cross-sectional data from 1,000 adult Oryctes rhinoceros, we analyzed the static allometry of nine traits with pronotum width as the primary body-size proxy and body length for sensitivity analyses.
