Fig. 5. The relationship between wing loading (kg m-2) and elevation (m)
for hummingbirds: (A) means of raw species data
(y=-0.002x+26, r2=0.196,
P=0.003); (B) independent contrasts (y=-0.11x;
r2=0.18, P=0.04). The regression using
independent contrasts in forced through the origin
(Garland et al., 1992). The
phylogenetic hypothesis used for this analysis is the same as for
