Fig. 4

Profiles of the kinematic variables during food processing in three different morphotypes of I. alpestris. Kinematic means (dark and bold profiles) ± SD (slender, dashed and pale curves) of synchronous motions plotted in normalized coordinate systems with group-normalized timescales (x-axes) for comparison. Gape (light blue) (a, b, c) and cranial flexion (purple) (d, e, f) in degree, vertical hyobranchial movement (orange) (g, h, i) normalized to cranial length (i.e., %-cl)
