Maximum theoretical bite forces (N) over ontogeny in Rhinoptera bonasus. Solid lines, RMA regressions for the data; dashed lines, scaling predictions based on isometric growth set to cross data lines at the mean values of each independent variable. (a) Medial bite force, (b) medial bite force using the tendinous PQ insertion, (c) lateral bite force, (d) lateral bite force using the tendinous PQ insertion, medial biting. ‘I’ denotes isometry, ‘P’ denotes positive allometry.
