Relationship between residual brain size and mortality rate at the population level (a) without and (b) with control of allometric effects of body size on mortality rates. Brain size adjusted by body mass is estimated as the residuals of a log–log least-square linear regression of brain mass against body mass. Body size effects were removed from mortality rates estimates using the same approach.
