Abbreviations: HLHAPW, humeral length against anteroposterior width; HLHMLW; humeral length against mediolateral width; HLHDPCW, humeral length against deltopectoral crest width; a, allometric coefficient; b, y-intercept; n, sample size; p(a = 1), probability that the allometric coefficient is equal to isometry, cells highlighted in bold are those that are statistically distinguishable from isometry at the p = 0.05 level; p(uncorr), probability that X and Y are uncorrelated, cells highlighted in bold are those where X and Y are uncorrelated at the p = 0.05 level; R-squared, coefficient of determination.
