Figure 25.2
Use the following information when answering the corresponding question(s)
Martin Wikelski and L.Michael Romero (Body size,performance and fitness in Galápagos marine iguanas,Integrative and Comparative Biology 43 [2003]:376-86) measured the snout-to-vent (anus) length of Galápagos marine iguanas and observed the percent survival of different-sized animals,all of the same age.Figure 25.2 shows the log snout-vent length (SVL,a measure of overall body size) plotted against the percent survival of these different size classes for males and females.
