Abstract
TABLE 4. — Correlation statistics for reptile masses vs mammal masses by taxon. A shows results for pairwise correlation tests between log 10 mass values and B shows results for pairwise correlation tests for the first differences in those values between members. The columns marked S have non-normally-distributed data, so the correlation test results shown in A are the Spearman rank correlation coefficient and corresponding p-value. The cercopithecid, aff. Hip. aethiopicus, Hippopotamus sp., and trionychid data series are excluded from B because they include too few consecutive members sampled. NA indicates other comparisons with too few observations of change between bins in common between the two series to run correlation test. P-values under 0.05 which are not significant after Bonferroni correction are marked with *, and correlation coefficients over 0.75 are marked in bold. Mammal data from Bibi (2023), Bibi & Cantalapiedra (2023), except for Hippopotamidae (this study). Abbreviations: aHa, aff. Hip. aethiopicus; aHpk, aff. Hip. protamphibius / karumensis; Cerco, cercopithecids; Hsp., Hippopotamus sp.; Trag, tragelaphins.
