Performance space plot (fascicle length (Lf) verses PCSA, normalised by the appropriate scaling exponents for body mass) for each hindlimb muscle. Species means are represented for each muscle where the size of the symbol indicates the mean body mass and the shape of the symbol represents different muscles for each species. A general overview for all muscles is shown in c, and is separated into functional groups in panels a-b, d-f
