FIGURE 10 in Morphological variation during post-embryonic development in the centipede Lithobius melanops: traditional and geometric morphometrics approaches

FIGURE 10 Shape variation of (A) The forcipular apparatus; (B) The cephalic capsule; and (C) The ultimate leg among epimorphic groups was performed by Canonical Variate Analyses (CVA) [circle: black – agenitalis, white – maturus; rectangles: black – praematurus male, white – praematurus female (in the case of the forcipular aparatus) and praematurus (both sexes in the case of the cephalic capsule and the ultimate leg)]. Thin plate spline deformation grids and vector positions illustrate the shape variation pattern among analyzed groups.
