Fig. 2. Allometric (scaling) slopes, or b values, from linear regressions
of log-transformed variables, for FMR (open circles) and BMR (or SMR for
reptiles and lizards; filled circles), compared to the theoretical slopes of
0.67 and 0.75. **FMR slope for that taxon differs significantly
from 0.75; *FMR and BMR for that taxon differ significantly from
each other. Numbers of species included in the FMR slope calculations are
shown in parentheses. BMR slopes (or SMR slopes for reptiles) are from Kleiber
(1975; for mammals,
eutherians), Hayssen and Lacy
(1985; mammals, eutherians,
marsupials), Dawson and Hulbert
(1970; marsupials), Lasiewski
and Dawson (1967; birds), and
Bennett and Dawson (1976;
reptiles, lizards).
