FIGURE 3 in Disentangling vines: a study of morphological crypsis and genetic divergence in vine snakes (Squamata: Colubridae: Ahaetulla) with the description of five new species from Peninsular India

FIGURE 3. PCA plot shows quantitative morphological space shared by Western Ghats Ahaetulla spp.. In the figure, members of the Ahaetulla nasuta species complex with lineages L3—A. borealis sp. nov. (dark blue crosses), L4—A. farnsworthi sp. nov. (green filled squares), L5—A. isabellina comb. nov. (brown cross) and L6—A. malabarica sp. nov. (black squares) from the Western Ghats are clustered together and share morphological space. The PCA plots correspond to the scores and loadings presented in Appendix IV (D, E & F).
