Scaling pattern of the carnivoran hind limb: Main deviations from a conservative pattern

Abstract: The scaling pattern of the hind limb in Carnivora was determined using a sample of 13 variables measured on the femur, tibia, and calcaneus, of 429 specimens belonging to 141 species. Standardized major axis regressions on body mass were calculated for all variables, using both traditional regression methods and phylogenetically independent contrasts (PIC). Significant differences were found between the allometric slopes obtained with traditional and PIC regression methods, emphasizing the need to take into ac… Show more

“…Since the latter magnifies shape changes at small sizes, differences between both regressions would suggest that the allometric effect changes along the studied size range. This is known as differential scaling and it has been previously reported for several linear measurements in carnivoran limb bones (Bertram & Biewener, 1990; Gálvez-López & Casinos, 2022 a , b ).…”

“…S1). And third, log-transforming centroid size did not linearize the relationship of shape and size, which in bivariate scaling studies suggests the presence of differential scaling (Bertram & Biewener, 1990; Gálvez-López & Casinos, 2022 a , b ).…”
