Species are arranged by taxonomic groups. Log₂EQ, convergence angle (CA), frontation angle (FA) and skull length are given for each species, angles in degrees and skull length in mm. Log₂EQ is the base-2 logarithm of the encephalization quotient (Jerison, 1970, 1973; Radinsky, 1977). Missing values are shown as ‘no data.’ See text for further discussion.
