Scaling of Convex Hull Volume to Body Mass in Modern Primates, Non-Primate Mammals and Birds

The volumetric method of ‘convex hulling’ has recently been put forward as a mass prediction technique for fossil vertebrates. Convex hulling involves the calculation of minimum convex hull volumes (vol (CH)) from the complete mounted skeletons of modern museum specimens, which are subsequently regr...
