Fig. 4 in Allometric Relationships between Body Width and Horn Size in the Dung Beetle Onthophagus hecate (Panzer, 1794) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae)
Fig. 4. Relationship between male pronotal horn length (mm) and the number of protuberances on the horn. The logistic regression is indicated with a black line, and the 95% CI indicated in grey (χ2 = 13.2, df = 1, p <0.001). Pronotal horn length, where 95% of beetles are likely to have two protuberances (3.65 mm) or four protuberances (4.27 mm), are indicated with dashed lines and arrows; where two or four protuberances are equally likely (3.97 mm) is indicated with a dashed line. Drawings of O. hecate male heads and pronotums with two and four protuberances are included.

Fig. 3. Relationship between pronotum width (mm) and pronotal lengths (mm) in Onthophagus hecate. A) Violin and box plot showing the distribution of pronotum lengths with horns (males) or ridges (females). A significant Wilcoxon test (W = 2524, p <0.001) indicated bY ***. B) Relationships between pronotal horn length and pronotum width for male (♂) and female (♀) beetles. Regression equations for male and female beetles are as follows (male: F1,153 = 1493, p <0.001, adjusted R2 = 0.91; female: F = 1266, p <0.001, adjusted R2 = 0.94). Outlier (ID: "20624O2-6m") is indi1,79 cated by a black outline around the point. C) Violin and box plot of the distribution of pronotum width for males and females. A Wilcoxon test (W = 6611, p = 0.61) showed no significant differences between sexes. Diamonds in panels A and C indicate means for male and female beetles.
