Fig. 3. Mean values of y and z of the right hindlimb relative to
the hip (y=0, z=0) for each combination of species (rows;
A-D, C. calyptratus; E,F, D. dorsalis), surface (rows; A,B,
2.4 cm perch; C-F, treadmill), and incline (columns; -30°, 0°,
30°). From proximal to distal the endpoints of the line segments represent
the hip, knee, ankle, distal end of the metatarsala and tip of the toe. Sample
sizes range from 14 to 16 strides (from four individuals per species) for each
combination of the three factors. The projection onto the
y-z plane corresponds to an anterior view. With the
exception of downhill locomotion on the treadmill at footfall, the femur of
D. dorsalis is more erect than that of C. calyptratus.
