Box plots of A, estimated final sizes. (A) Occipitopalatal length was a typical result, and as with all measures of the neurocranium, the control group had less variation compared with both groups of malnourished rats. Average mean corrected R² of CP group = 0.950, LP1 group = 0.968, LP2 group = 0.909. (B) Nasal bone length was also a typical result and illustrates the tendency for the LP2 group to have greater variation in measurements of the viscerocranium. Average mean corrected R² of CP group = 0.954, LP1 group = 0.945, LP2 group = 0.852. Numbers in parentheses correspond to measurement numbers in Fig. 1 and Table 3.
