In the genus Macaca, represented by seven species, neonatal weight scales at a power of maternal weight of a = 0.49. This value is lower than those for subordinal and ordinal scaling of neonatal weight in primates (a = 0.63-0.78), but it is higher than the value for intrageneric scaling of brain weight in Macaca (a = 0.18). A causal interpretation is attempted for differing values of a at different taxonomic levels and between different organ systems.
在猕猴属中，有七个物种，新生幼崽体重与母体体重的比例系数a = 0.49。这个值低于灵长类动物新生幼崽体重亚目和目级别的比例系数（a = 0.63 - 0.78），但高于猕猴属中脑重的属内比例系数（a = 0.18）。针对不同分类级别以及不同器官系统中a的不同值，尝试给出一种因果解释。
