From: Evolutionary integration of forelimb and hindlimb proportions within the bat wing membrane inhibits ecological adaptation

Extended Data Fig. 4

Landmarking schemes employed to infer relative bat skeletal element sizes: (a) Humerus (b) Handwing (c) Tibia (d) Radius (e) Femur, scale bar 10 mm (f) Schematic illustration of bat wing with handwing dactyl elements labelled mediolaterally I-V, and proximodistally a-d (g) Representation of variables included in handwing proportions, which are collapsed by Procrustes alignment and compiled into a 1 by 18 by n=111 array. (h) Representation of gross wing proportions, defined by the total wing length, craniocaudal depth and thumb length. This dataset is an n=111 by 3 table.
