Extended Data Fig. 5: Removal of thumb landmarks affects perceived ecological adaptation within the bat wing.

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

Extended Data Fig. 5

(a) Normalized effect size of integration between transformed roosting ecology, bat gross wing proportions, handwing proportions, and the allometric residual of handwing size. Black: results when thumb landmarks are removed. (b) Normalized effect size of integration between transformed flight-style variety and bat morphological parameters. Effect-sizes computed within 100 randomly generated cohorts of n=100 bat species. Total available specimens n=111 bat species. The \(Z/\,\sqrt[]{n}=0.17\) isopleth (dashed) typically represents the lower bound of significance at an α=0.05 level. Solid envelopes represent significant relationships at the α=0.05 level, while dotted lines indicate non-significance. Illustrations A.O. 2024.
