Figure 4


Fig. 4. Overall curvature (m–1) for an ontogenetic series of dolphins when deformed with a maximal load. Values are shown for deformation in the lateral (mean value for both left and right), dorsal and ventral directions. The maximal load is the point at which any increased load resulted in no further deformation or caused unnatural distortion of the body. Vertical dotted lines distinguish different life-history stages.
