Fig. 9. A simplified phylogeny of Felidae modified from Mattern and McLennan (Mattern and McLennan, 2000) showing trends in the evolution of size. Numbers indicate cat clades: 1, caracal and leopard cat; 2, domestic; 3, lynx and puma; 4, ocelot; 5, Panthera. Wedges indicated multiple species at that branch. Red, blue and black indicate large (>40 kg) medium (11–40 kg) and small (1–10 kg) species, respectively. Only the nine species of this study are labeled. + indicates additional increases in body size.
