Table 5 Phylogenetic generalized least square (PGLS) regression results. PGLS of the correlations between shape (PCs) and mechanical advantage (MA) of temporal and quadrate muscle groups. Only PCs with significant correlations with MA are included in the table. No significant correlations were found between shape and MWAM strain, centroid size and MA, and centroid size and MWAM strain
