Fig. 4

Convex hulls highlight (a) tribes, and (b) dietary categories. Phylogenetic and dietary differences in shape become more significant with increasing distance from the mean, or between peripheral (triangles) and central (circles) species. Note some individuals in (a) do not belong to any of the eight main tribes. See Supplementary Fig. 7 for a version with species labels.
