Fig. 2: Comparative evidence for character displacement via shifts in key morphological traits associated with habitat use.
From: Observing character displacement from process to pattern in a novel vertebrate community
Sympatric A. sagrei had relatively longer (A) forelimbs, and (B) hind limbs compared to allopatric populations. Blue circles represent mean trait values from three sites per treatment; error bars represent 95% C.I. P-values are from linear mixed effects models with treatment (i.e., allopatry vs. sympatry) as a fixed effect and site as a random effect. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01. All source data are available at: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.27165759; data for (A, B) from file “NatComms_ECD_morphology”.
