Figure 8. Co-variation of longevity and body mass with telomere length across the available independent comparisons.

Figure 8

(a) Phylogeny for the relationships between telomere length, maximum longevity and body mass. Branch lengths are not drawn to scale. (b): Direction of variations in telomere length, maximum longevity and body mass among the available independent comparisons. Open, upward-pointed triangles indicate that the two parameters vary in the same direction, while filled, downward-pointing triangles indicate that the parameters vary in opposite directions.
