The IOP appears to be lower in aquatic animals adapted to freshwater as compared to seawater. However, the group of animals adapted to saltwater is here limited to mammals. Among all the species adapted to fresh and saltwater the residual heterogeneity is I2 = 90.09%. Including saltwater and freshwater adaptations to the model as moderators accounts for 88.95% of the heterogeneity in effect.
