Source

Lappin, A. K., and J. F. Husak. 2005. Weapon performance, not size, determines mating success and potential reproductive output in the collared lizard (Crotaphytus collaris). The American Naturalist 166: 426-436.

Note

In the original publication (Lappin and Husak, 2005; Figure 3A), the data are presented in log-10 units. The data in LizardBite and in chapter 17, question 9 was back-transformed using e (i.e., exp()). To recover the data from the original publication, use 10^(log(LizardBite$territory)) and 10^(log(LizardBite$bite)).
