Sexual size dimorphism is thought to vary in a predictable manner with overall body size, a pattern named “Rensch's rule”. The rule is thought to suggest different predictions for taxa with female‐ and male‐biased dimorphism. This leaves taxa where both types of dimorphism are common in limbo. Rensch's rule is usually estimated using the reduced major axis (RMA) slope of a regression of male size on female size. A slope steeper than one shows support for the rule.

伦施法则-定义和统计

人们认为性大小双态性会随着整体大小的变化而以可预测的方式变化,这种模式称为“伦施法则”。该规则被认为对具有雌性和雄性偏二态性的分类单元提出了不同的预测。这使得分类单元中的两种双态性在边缘地区很常见。通常使用男性大小对女性大小的回归值的减小的主轴(RMA)斜率来估算Rensch规则。坡度大于1的坡度显示了对规则的支持。
