Abstract
⺠The allometry coefficient is a random variable with a Pareto distribution. ⺠The variability in the allometry coefficient provides a measure of the stability of the species in a given taxon. ⺠The distribution of fluctuations in the allometry coefficient entails the punctuated equilibrium theory of macroevolution.
