Note:

Absolute trait size in males (A), females (B), trait size relative to body (elytra) size in males (C), trait size relative to body size in females (D), and trait size relative to elytra size in females (E) in the synchronous firefly Photinus palaciosi. Parameters from initial models are presented since backwards stepwise simplification resulted in removal of all explanatory variables in all models.
