Figure 4

Composite of distal pressure clipping planes at α = 0° (top left) and α  = 10° (top right) and velocity clipping planes at α = 0° (bottom left) and α = 10° (bottom right) from all eleven species. Note the interfamilial difference in both magnitude of the gradient and posterior edge flow separation at α = 10°, but the lack thereof at the hypothesized α = 0°; (A) C. leucas, (B) N. brevirostris, (C) C. limbatus, (D) E. blochii, (E) S. corona, (F) S. media, (G) S. tudes, (H) S. tiburo, (I) S. lewini, (J) S. zygaena, (K) S. mokarran.
