Fig. 6
Example of a species-specific allometric relationship used for predicting an individual’s Ash Free Dry Mass (AFDM, g) from (estimated) length (mm). The solid green line is the fitted LOESS-model that is used for predicting AFDM from length. The LOESS curve was fitted using the ‘loess’ function in R88, with a span of 0.6. The model’s residual standard error was 0.15. Open circles are individual measurements (n = 58,989) and grey solid dots are outliers (n = 560; corresponding to 0.9% of the data points) that fall outside of twice the inter quartile range.
