See Appendices S2 and S3 for details of species and references. Listed are the numbers of studies, species, individuals per correlation (N), and correlations based on each of VO2max, Msum and DEE.
a
One correlation for DEE and one for VO2max were not included in inter‐specific analyses because they were calculated employing four species, hence z‐scores and variance estimates could not be calculated (see Table 3).
