Fig. 7. (A) Cross-sectional area and (B) cranio-caudal and medio-lateral second
moments of area (I) of the radius at the midshaft plotted against
body mass on logarithmic axes. Data for the small, intermediate and adult
groups are represented by circles, squares and diamonds, respectively.
Cranio-caudal (ICC) and medio-lateral
(IML) data are represented by filled and open symbols,
respectively. In A, y=13.4x0.53±0.07
(r2=0.92). In B, ICC,
y=26.6x0.84±0.16
(r2=0.85); IML,
y=52.3x1.03±0.12
(r2=0.94). The broken lines represent isometry in each
case (slope: A, 0.67; B, 1.33) and are positioned to facilitate comparison
with the regression lines (solid lines).
