Fig. 1: Encephalization slopes estimated for carnivoran taxonomic groups.
From: The impact of environmental factors on the evolution of brain size in carnivorans
Slopes were estimated for a carnivoran families and b the two suborders. Values on the allometries of encephalization indicate slope characterizing the encephalization for each taxonomic group. Black doted slope represents the correlation between brain volume and body mass in terrestrial carnivorans using a phylogenetic generalized least squares regression on dataset 1 (N = 174), with R2 and p-values associated.
