Figure 4

MU of field reared male T. cristinae lingual and occlusial mandible shapes assessed using all 18 RWs supported by 1000 resampling permutations. Panels show 80% confidence bubbles outlining morphospace occupied by different A) host plant ecotypes, B and C) key pairwise populations comparisons along the first three RWs accounting for 60.3% of shape variation. Panels D-F show the same as A-C, but for the occlusial mandible whose first 3 RWs account for 67% of the shape variation. Deformation grids next to RWs in panel C and D show general shape change trends along each. *** = P < 0.001, ** = P< 0.01, and *=P <0.05.
