Entomology

the regularity that insect larval head width or body size grows by a roughly constant ratio at each moult, tested and explained with optimality models.

In entomology, Dyar's rule refers to the regularity that insect larval head width or body size grows by a roughly constant ratio at each moult, tested and explained with optimality models. This meaning comes from Hutchinson (1997) in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences.[1]
