Female roe deer body condition versus tooth wear indices. Eviscerated body mass (BW in kg; on the left) and the ratio of eviscerated body mass to total mandible length (BW/ML in kg/mm; on the right) as a dependent variable in relation to: a molariforms wear score, b M1 height (\(\overline{{{\text{HM}}_{1} }}\) in mm), and c hypsodonty index of M1 (HI of M1) for 319 roe deer females shot in the Arezzo province (Tuscany, Central Italy) during the regular annual harvest (1 Jan–15 Mar) between 2007 and 2017. R2 of the linear regression (dotted grey line) is reported
