Fig. 4: Time-series representations of mean relative body size.
From: Environmental drivers of body size evolution in crocodile-line archosaurs
Three approaches are shown: (a) actual taxa binned at the resolution of stratigraphic stages; (b) actual taxa plus ghost ranges inferred using branch lengths; (c) actual taxa plus ghost ranges plus phylogenetically reconstructed body size values of inferred common ancestors. Random 50% bootstrap samples were drawn over 100 iterations. The interquartile range of these iterations is shown in dark grey, the total range in light grey.
