Figure 8

Shape changes associated with dietary adaptive optima ( θ i ) for the best fitting evolutionary model. Shape icons for each diet optimum depicted as grid deformations relative to the grand average shape (Fig. 2B). Shape changes obtained by shape principal component scores estimated as θ i by the model OU.5 (Fig. 6). Arrows indicate directions of evolutionary change between adaptive peaks according to ancestral diet estimates.
