group-level random effect estimates are presented on the standard deviation scale.

response = residual(log leaf area ~ log leaf number); covariate = residual(log leaf mass ~ log leaf number).

5

response = residual(petiole length ~ log leaf number); covariate = residual(log leaf mass ~ log leaf number)

6

response = residual(petiole length ~ log leaf number + log leaf mass); covariate = residual(log leaf area ~ log leaf number + log leaf mass)
