allometry {rorqual.morpho}

Allometric equations for rorqual morphology

Description

A dataset including the intercepts and slopes of the ordinary least squares allometric regression (in log10 space) of various morphometric parameters against body length. Use the formula 10^intercept * length^slope to predict morphology.

Usage

allometry

Format

A data frame with 5 columns:

species_code

two letter codes: bw, bp, mn, ba, be, and bs

binomial

scientific binomials

morphology

morphological parameter e.g. flipper length, body mass

slope

slope of the allometric relationship

intercept

intercept of the allometric relationship
