Abstract：
:Twelve biological variables were submitted to dimensional analysis in accordance with the MLT-system of physics (M, mass; L, length; T, time). Each of these variables has a characteristic numerical value for the exponents alpha for mass, beta for length, and gamma for time. By means of Newton's reduction coefficient (chi), the three dimensions (MLT) can be expressed as power functions of body mass (Mb); the exponent (b) is the result of the combination of the three dimensional exponents (alpha, beta, gamma). By linear regression analysis of 203 allometric exponents (betaE) obtained from the literature, the following equation was found for the regression exponent (bR) (equation: see text). The estimated numerical coefficients (ki) for the three exponents (alpha, beta, gamma) of the basic dimensions (MLT) do not agree with those of the prevailing theories of biological similarity.
