From: Discrete phenotypes are not underpinned by genome-wide genetic differentiation in the squat lobster Munida gregaria (Crustacea: Decapoda: Munididae): a multi-marker study covering the Patagonian shelf

Principal component analysis (PCA) biplot for the morphometric measurements of all the samples. Dashed lines show vectors from the five representative body characteristics that are statistically significant in discriminating ecotypes. The 95% concentration ellipses are given for juvenile and adult gregaria s. str. as well as juvenile and adult subrugosa. A dashed 95% concentration ellipse represents all subrugosa individuals. Solid arrows indicate suggested interpretation as ontogenetic transition within ecotype (horizontal) and morphological discreteness between ecotypes (vertical; see discussion)
