Fig. 1. The allometric relationship between fat body mass (M_fb) and body mass (M_b) of young tegu lizards (Tupinambis merianae) at distinct activity states during the first annual cycle. Autumn activity corresponds to late autumn, and arousal to unfed, rehydrated animals in Table 1. Linear regressions were performed on log-transformed M_fb (g) and M_b (g) as described by log₁₀ M_fb=a+b log₁₀M_b.
