Ontogenetic trajectories of a hypothetical ancestor and its descendant. Both curves are defined by the logistic equation with different values of r (see text). (a) Untransformed trajectories. (b) Both trajectories after transforming the size data using the logistic linearizing transform (Eq. A6). The transformation separates the endpoints of the trajectories, which are so close as to look identical in the untransformed case.
