Table 1.
Species included in analysis with descriptions of CV (long term population variation among sites), maximum body size (cm), and geographic range (km2).
Figure 1.
Phylogeny of study taxa with body size (BS) and geographic range (GR) categories.
Darker bars indicate higher values. See Table 1 for raw data values.
Figure 2.
Variance-covariance matrix of a generalized phylogenetic tree.
Variance is set to the branch length from the root to the tip and the covariance is the branch length from the root to the most recent common ancestor (adapted from de Villemereuil et al. 2012).
Figure 3.
Results of the coefficient of variation posterior predictive check from the Bayesian hierarchical model.
Points are mean estimates from the 95% credible intervals, vertical bars are the bounds of the 95% credible intervals, and solid triangles are observed mean coefficient of variation values for each species.
