Fig. 4. Breaking stress ({sigma}brk) as a function of fractional distance (d) along the feather, where `0' represents the proximal end and `1' represents the distal end of the feather. There were no significant differences in slope (ANCOVA; P2,153=0.17) or intercept (P2,153=0.09) between barb colors (overall equation: {sigma}brk=-79d+320, r2=0.09, P1,154<0.001 that the overall slope is zero).
