Beware of Primate Life History Data: A Plea for Data Standards and a Repository
Figure 2
Gestation length [log10 days] in relation to adult female body mass [log10 kg] for different databases.
Linear model results and plots for Asian colobines (triangles, dashed lines) and Asian macaques (circles, sold lines); NC = number of Asian colobine species; NM = number of Asian macaque species; ā = N/A; bold italic = Pā¤0.05; italic = 0.05<P<0.10. Lines only drawn for models with a body mass effect that is significant at alpha = 0.05. Where nutrition is included as an independent variable, filled symbols and bold lines stand for wild/unprovisioned whereas open symbols and non-bold lines stand for provisioned/captive. Body mass data from Smith & Jungers [66] and Gordon [67].
