Fig. 4. Mean maximum radial speeds for all jaws of eight species of
Odontomachus. One-way ANOVA significant (P<0.001).
Species arranged from left to right by mean mass (lowest to highest). Species
with the same letters (A–E) are statistically indistinguishable from
each other at the P<0.05 level in post-hoc pairwise
tests. Maximum jaw speeds of O. clarus desertorum and O.
erythrocephalus (group A) are significantly higher than previous highest
reported value for self-propelled prey strike in animals [O. bauri
(Patek et al., 2006)].
