Fig. 3.

Maturation patterns of (A) the neurobasicranial and (B) the ethmomaxillary complex. In the inset graphs centroid size and shape (Procrustes) distances to adults are plotted. The significances of the differences in size and shape between the subadults and adults are shown on the bars beneath these graphs, in which dashed lines indicate significant differences from adult. These indicate the immature portions of the ontogenetic trajectories, solid lines the mature ones (absence of significant differences). The reference and transformation grids for the relevant landmark configurations are shown beneath each graph. Squares indicate midline basicranial structures while filled dots indicate lateral basicranial structures.
