Studie I: Ontogenetic allometry of the Beagle
Tab. 2: Individual parameters of limb segments for all siblings studied. Allometric
coefficient (slope), intercept, standard deviation of the slope (SD slope), correlation
coefficient (R) and the upper and the lower limit of the 95% confidence intervals (95%
UL, 95% LL) of all body proportions plotted against body mass on log-log scales
(base 10). Isometry (iso) was given if the slope b=0.333 was within the confidence
interval; otherwise, it was negative (-) or positive (+) allometry. For comparisons with
previously published results (see Tab. 4), the growth sequences based on the slopes
and the respective CIs are indicated for each dog in the last line. Abbreviations: scscapula,
br-brachium, ab-antebrachium, ma-manus; fe-femur, cr-crus, ps-pes.
