Table 1 Allometries for testes weight, spermatophore gland mass and subgenital plate width in Metaplastes ornatus. OLS models using hindleg length (to the power of three for testes and spermatophore gland models), with population origin as fixed factor (common slope). Additionally, the p value testing for a difference of the slope to one is given. df = 379
