Causation, not collinearity: Identifying sources of bias when modelling the evolution of brain size and other allometric traits
Abstract Many biological traits covary with body size, resulting in an allometric relationship. Identifying the evolutionary drivers of these traits is complicated by possible relationships between a candidate selective agent and body size itself, motivating the widespread use of multiple regression...
