Biplot of independent contrasts [log2EQ, x-axis; (FA), y-axis] for Felidae. Note that an outlier (Acinonyx jubatus, the cheetah) is responsible for drawing the correlation into significance. Although it is possible that a significant relationship between FA and encephalization among cats does indeed exist, this result must be considered speculative as yet. PIC, phylogenetically independent contrast.
