Table 2.
Allometric relationships between body parts and body size (SVL for tail, fore limb, and hindlimb length, OVL for head size). It indicates the slope (allometric relationship) estimated with Major Axis Regressions, as well as the statistics of a test of homogeneity of slopes for the interactions sex*body size, elevation*body size, and the three-way interaction sex*elevation*body size. The numerator degrees of freedom are 1 for the interaction sex*body size, and 5 for the interaction elevation*body size and the three-way interaction. The degrees of freedom of the error term are indicated in the column d.f.
