Hi all,

This is a fairly simple question, but one that I am unsure of - is it 
appropriate to fit lines to plots of allometric scores, for example 
regression score or common allometric component (CAC) vs size, or the first 
residual shape component (RSC) vs CAC? If the scores represent individuals 
from different groups or species, does it make sense to add a line of best 
fit to each group to visualize trends? I've noticed in other papers that 
lines are not used, so I'm wondering if this is somehow "wrong". I realize 
the line itself is not the regression line, but if it's only used for 
visual comparison, is that technically okay?

Thanks for any feedback,
Christy
