Fig. 5. (A) Mean (± s.d.) maximum angular acceleration (
) by species,
in radians s–2. Species arranged from lowest mean mass to
largest, left to right. Secondary error bars (dotted lines) represent
digitization error for groups in which this was estimated. (B) Scatterplot and
regression of independent contrast (IC) values for
log10-transformed jaw accelerations vs log10
head width (P=0.04, slope=–1.54, 95% CI=–2.72 to
–0.354, r2=0.52).
