From: Canalization and developmental stability of the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) mandible and cranium related to age and nematode parasitism

Fig. 7

Scatterplots of the first two principal components (PC1 vs. PC2) from the symmetric component of shape variation (individual variation, Ind) for the mandible (a) and cranium (b). Categories regarding parasitism: P0—non-parasitized animals, P1—animals parasitized by one nematode species, P2—animals parasitized by two nematode species, P3—animals parasitized by three to five nematode species. Cranial shape changes (magnified 3 times and visualized by TPS deformation grids) observed from discriminant function analysis (DFA) between P0 and P3 categories (c) and multivariate regression of their shape variables onto dry eye lens mass (d)
