Figure 7 in Elbow-joint morphology as a guide to forearm function and foraging behaviour in mammalian carnivores
Figure 7. Second principal component (PC2) of extinct giant mustelids and recent carnivorans plotted against body mass (kg). Hand-fitted arrows marking the two trajectories for recent carnivorans (filled circles) are shown. The postulated threshold at 21.5–25 kg, where carnivorans shift from small to large prey (Carbone et al., 1999), is shaded grey.
Figure 6 in Elbow-joint morphology as a guide to forearm function and foraging behaviour in mammalian carnivores
Figure 6. Second principal component (PC2) of recent carnivorans plotted against calculated body mass (kg). The postulated threshold at 21.5–25 kg, where carnivorans shift diet from small to large prey (Carbone et al., 1999), is shaded grey. Above this threshold, grapplers are clearly separated from nongrapplers on PC2. Hand-fitted arrows marking the two morphological trajectories, the top one for nongrapplers and the lower one for grapplers, are shown. For body mass see Appendix 1.
Figure 3. Second principal component mapped onto a in Elbow-joint morphology as a guide to forearm function and foraging behaviour in mammalian carnivores
Figure 3. Second principal component mapped onto a composite phylogeny for the order Carnivora. Carnivorans traditionally regarded as primarily using their forelimbs for locomotion (nongrapplers) are written in bold typeface. PC2 largely follows the phylogeny. Transitions are rare, but have occurred, e.g. in the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus). Ancestral stages are reconstructed by minimizing the sum of squared changes. The value for the root is not reconstructed. The phylogeny is a composite from the following sources: Decker & Wozencroft (1991); Bryant, Russell & Fitch (1993); Tedford, Taylor & Wang (1995); Veron (1995); Masuda et al. (1996); Talbot & Shields (1996); Dragoo & Honeycutt (1997); Wayne et al. (1997); Flynn & Nedbal (1998); Seymour (1999); Flynn et al. (2000); Veron & Heard (2000); Gaubert, Veron & Tranier (2002); X. Wang (pers. comm.).
Figure 5 in Elbow-joint morphology as a guide to forearm function and foraging behaviour in mammalian carnivores
Figure 5. Moving average of PC2 variance body mass. Variation is low and uniform at small sizes. At around 10 kg variation starts to increase with size. There is a marked decrease in variation around 30–40 kg. The species are ranked according to body size and the average over a moving succession of ten increments calculated.
Figure 2 in Elbow-joint morphology as a guide to forearm function and foraging behaviour in mammalian carnivores
Figure 2. Thin-plate spline comparison of wolverine (Gulo gulo) against grey wolf (Canis lupus) graphically illustrating the difference in shape of the distal humerus articulation between carnivorans scoring high (C. lupus) on the second principal component (PC2) and low (G. gulo). The broken line shows the outline of the articulation of G. gulo. The thin-plate spline is calculated from the consensus configurations of the two species (G. gulo, reference species, N = 6; C. lupus, N = 5; Bookstein, 1991) generated through generalized least squares (GLS) orthogonal Procrustes analysis (Rohlf & Slice, 1990).

Data for: Hidden diversity: Comparative functional morphology of humans and other species
<p>Gastrointestinal (GI) morphology plays an important role in nutrition, health, and epidemiology, yet limited data on gastrointestinal variation have been collected since 1885. Here we demonstrate that students can collect reliable data sets on gut morphology; when they do, they reveal greater morphological variation for some structures in the GI than has been documented in the published literature. We discuss trait variability both within and among species, and the implications of that variability for evolution and epidemiology. Our results show that morphological variation in the GI tract is associated with each organ's role in food processing. For example, the length of many structures was found to vary significantly with feeding strategy. Within species, the variability illustrated by the coefficients of variation suggests that selective constraints may vary with function. Within humans, we detected significant correlations between the various lengths of the liver and appendix (p = 0.0174) and with the colon (p = 0.0494), as well as between the small intestine and colon (p = 0.0445), which are arguably the most vital organs in the gut for nutrient absorption. Notably, intraspecific variation in the small intestine can be associated with life history traits. In humans, females demonstrated consistently and significantly longer small intestines than males (p = 0.0403). This finding supports the female canalization hypothesis, specifically, increased female investment in the digestion and absorption of lipids.</p>
