我们从文献和同事中收集数据，以研究脊椎动物以及鸟类，哺乳动物，爬行动物和鱼类独立的眼轴长度和体重之间的关系。在将数据拟合成对数和半对数模型后，我们发现脊椎动物眼轴长度与体重确实服从常规的对数关系，而不是先前研究结果所建议的半对数关系[Handbook of Sensory Physiology，VII/5：The Visual System in Vertebrates，Springer-Verlag，柏林，1977;脊椎动物眼的异速生长，论文，芝加哥大学，UMI，安阿伯，T28274，1982]。回归斜率和截距似乎是各种动物组的特征。眼睛的轴向长度在鸟类和灵长类动物中最大，在其他哺乳动物（特别是啮齿动物）和爬行动物中较小，在鱼类中差异很大。(C)2004爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
We compiled data from the literature and colleagues to examine the relationship between eye axial length and body weight for vertebrates as well as birds, mammals, reptiles, and fishes independently. After fitting the data to logarithmic and semi-logarithmic models, we found that axial length of vertebrate eyes does obey a conventional logarithmic relationship with body weight rather than a semi-logarithmic relationship as Suggested by the results of previous Studies [Handbook of Sensory Physiology, VII/5: The Visual System in Vertebrates, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1977; The Allometry of the Vertebrate Eye, Dissertation, University of Chicago, UMI, Ann Arbor, T28274, 1982]. The regression slopes and intercepts appear to be characteristic of various animal groups. The axial length of the eye is largest in birds and primates, smaller in other mammals (especially rodents) and reptiles, and widely varying in fishes. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
