Figure 17 in Skull morphology and functionality of extant Felidae (Mammalia: Carnivora): a phylogenetic and evolutionary perspective

Figure 17. Morphofunctional relationships between the members of the domestic cat lineage. Species' images are digitally adjusted and scaled according to the skull of Felis chaus, and are positioned over the centroids of their principal component analysis (PCA) scores. Arrows indicate bite force and neck robustness (abscissa), and jaw muscle optimization (ordinate). Acronyms are defined in the text.
