Morphospace Distribution and Principal Component-Associated Patellar Shape Variation Across Ruminant Species and Domestic Breeds. The figure illustrates the distribution of ruminant species within the morphospace based on PC1 and PC2, along with 3D visualizations of patellar shape changes associated with the negative and positive extremes of each principal component. The shape deformations are depicted using the right patella, shown from anterior, medial, and posterior views (left to right) for each PC axis.
