Table 7.
Significant RMA (before and after phylogenetic correction) scaling results for log physiological cross‐sectional area plotted against log body mass, displaying only those that differ from an isometric slope value of 0.667. Results with significant r 2 are shown in bold. Column headings as in Table 2
Muscle | Slope | Lower limit | Upper limit | slope P | Intercept | r 2 | r 2 P | n |
