Peto’s paradox and body size evolution in mammals. Phylogeny of Eutherian mammals with branch lengths scaled by log2 change in body size. Circles at tip branches represent the log2 body mass of each species, while circles at internal nodes illustrate the log2 ancestral state reconstruction of body mass inferred from the StableTraits model (13). Lineages with long branches had rapid body mass evolution and may have lower cancer prevalence than expected based on their body size.
