Figure 3

Principal component analyses. Bivariate graph derived from PC I and PC II with the regression residuals (Pco-Cs) for the pelvis (A), femur (C), and tibia (E). The plots also show the tree topology mapped on the morphospace. Three-dimensional models showing the shape change associated with these axes for the pelvis (B [lateral view]), femur (D [caudal and lateral views]), and tibia (F [caudal and proximal views]). Blue empty circle: tree root; see Figure 3 for more symbols. See Additional file 2 for interactive models. See Additional file 3: Table S1 for species labels.
