RMA: reduced major axis regression results, LS: least square regression results, CI: 95% confidence intervals, Isometry: Yes indicates that the LS or the RMA observed regression slope is not significantly different from a theoretical isometric slope. No indicates the LS or the RMA observed regression slope is significantly different from a theoretical isometric slope. Theoretical isometric slopes for MSW, TSK, TPL, TPW, TMS, DD, CH, and MTR versus body mass is 0.33. The theoretical isometric slope for molar area versus body mass is expected to be 0.66.
