PGLS regression models on maximum absolute growth rate per day (AGR) against body mass at maximum growth (BMatMG, in gram) for different taxonomic groups assuming a fixed slope of 0.75.

<p>AGR and BMatMG were log 10 transformed before regressions were conducted (<i>log10 AGR = log10 intercept+log10 BMatMG * 0.75</i>). Regression models are ordered by values of intercepts. N = sample size. CI = confidence interval. lambda = Pagel’s lambda. AIC = Akaike Information Criterion.
