Figure 7

Sucker dependence for all deformations in O. bimaculoides arms. Occurrences of sucker-independent and sucker-dependent deformations are plotted in paired bars for each deformation type: bending, torsion, shortening, and elongation. All deformation types occurred more frequently without the use of suckers (X2 = 127.41, p = 0.008). Asterisks indicate significant differences in sucker use at p < 0.01.
