Table 1.
Model selection performed on molar height for animals less than 14-years old (n=90). (x, factor included; AIC, Akaike Information Criterion; AICc, AIC corrected for small samples; K, number of parameters. We did not consider more detailed fit to age (e.g. higher order polynomials) due to limited data from older age classes.)
