Growth data

Proportion of the total metabolic power devoted to growth (Eg) and the overall integration magnitude (ICV) calculated for each mammal family, as well as the original neonate and adult body mass measurements used in the calculation of Eg. Sources for the body mass data can be obtained from the text of the manuscript

Species_and_node_information

Information on species' trait means and branch lengths used when estimating rate of morphological evolution. Branch names correspond to the names reported in the main text

Matrices

Variance/covariance matrices used in this study, separated by species. The BSFG G-matrix is named G_Bayes. The BSFG P-matrix is named P_Bayes

Posterior_and_matrices_Gnoise

BSFG model priors and posterior distributions, when estimating G based on random noise. File names follow the convention established by the BSFG model (Runcie & Mukherjee, 2013)

Priors_Posterior_and_Measurements

BSFG model input data and resulting posterior distributions. File names follow the convention established by the BSFG model (Runcie & Mukherjee, 2013). A file containing the 30 linear measurements collected in the skull of each strain specimen is also attached
