Relationship between malignancy and life history traits in mammals.
Percentage of malignancy in 29 species, representing 800 necropsies, of mammals in relation to three life history traits: (A) body mass (g); (B) lifespan (years) and (C) litter size. We used a phylogenetic comparative method to determine the association between life history traits and malignancy. The black line represents the phylogenetic comparative method generalized least squares (PGLS) regression model.
