Fig. 3. Allometric plot of peak chemoreceptor discharge rate vs body mass
(Table 2). The heavy black
regression line was calculated without phylogenetic correction (dotted line
indicates 95% confidence interval); the heavy gray regression line was
calculated with phylogenetic correction (see text). Regression parameters are
summarized in Table 3. Mean
values measured in this study are shown in red (lovebird, quail, pigeon, and
goose). Mean values from the literature are shown in green (chicken, muscovy
duck, emu; see text). The red + green square is the mean value for Anas
platyrhynchos (represented by mallard and Pekin ducks) combined from the
literature and this study (Table
2). Silhouettes identify specific data points and are not scaled
to actual bird size.
