A Heatmap of trait correlations. Blank boxes are trait correlation values that were not larger than the correlations from the Brownian motion simulation. Darker blue colors indicate a stronger positive correlation, while darker red colors indicate a stronger negative correlation. The size of the circle indicates the strength of the correlation. Letters B–E correspond to the bivariate plots. B–E Evolutionary correlations of the independent contrasts for a sampling of oral jaw traits that show weak, but significant, correlations.
