Further to Mike Bell's note, the relationship between trait size and variation also has been investigated in regard to mammalian teeth: Polly, P. D. 1998. Variability in mammalian dentitions: size-related bias in the coefficient of variation. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society 64:83-99. Szuma, E. 2000. Variation and correlation patterns in the dentition of the red fox from Poland. Annales Zoologici Fennici 37:113-127.
