Fig. 1From: Phylogenetic analyses suggest that diversification and body size evolution are independent in insectsHistograms of raw body length data and estimated mean-of-logs lengths (D; corrected for clade richness). Histograms of a Minimum log body size (ln (mm), Skewness = 0.3333) b Maximum log body size (ln (mm), Skewness = 0.07517) c Calculated mean log body size; for terminal groups used in this analysis (ln (mm), Skewness = 0.2102), d Mean size with each terminal group represented proportionally to its richness (ln (mm), Skewness = -0.0285). Curves on upper panels reflect normal distributions with the same mean and standard deviation as the observed data. Colors in lower panels show breakdown of size classes by major taxonomic group; Red - Holometabola, Green - Paraneoptera, Magenta - Polyneoptera, Cyan - Palaeoptera, Black - Basal insects, Grey - EntognathaBack to article page
