Description

Lim et al. (2014) meta-analysed the strength of correlation between maternal and offspring size within-species, across a very wide range of taxa. They found that typically there is a moderate positive correlation between maternal size and offspring size within species (i.e. larger mothers have larger offspring). Below we describe the variables use in our examples and analyses.
