Figure 4

Distribution of ungulate species in the morphospace defined by the microwear (A) and mesowear conservative (B) and radical (C) discriminant analyses models. Share symbols: extant fruit and leaf-browsers (FB, LB; open squares), grazers (G; open circles), P. ginsburgi (Pg; closed star). Exclusive microwear symbols: extant non-seasonal (nsMf; open triangles) and seasonal mixed feeders (sMf; open rhombus), P. ginsburgi specimens (cross). Exclusive mesowear symbols: extant mixed feeders (Mf; open triangles). Closed symbols representing centroids. Extant data from [4] and [14].
