Fig. 8. Frequency distributions of strain magnitudes for the cranial, caudal and
medial surfaces of the radius. Details of these distributions and the values
shown are the same as in Fig.
7. Though all six distributions are skewed to the right and appear
to fit a lognormal distribution, only the caudal surface during outdoor
locomotion (C; P=0.15) and the medial surface during treadmill
locomotion (F, P=0.15) are not significantly different than a
standard lognormal distribution. As in the metacarpus, all of the outdoor
distributions had smaller deviations (according to the D statistic) from the
log-normal curves than the corresponding treadmill distributions, probably
because the larger sample size for the outdoor data.
