Figure 9


Fig. 9. Length of the hind legs and jumping performance in short- and long-legged leaf hoppers. (A) Length of hind legs is not correlated with take-off velocity [peak take-off velocity averaged across a number of jumps (see Table 2) for each species]. The two short-legged leaf hoppers are plotted as open squares; the six long-legged species as filled circles. (B) Leg length is linearly correlated with take-off time. The same species as in A are shown, together with three unidentified long-legged species (open circles). Both data fits were generated with a standard linear regression.
