CB, cranial base; CV, cranial vault; FACE, facial skeleton; UCLP, unilateral cleft lip and palate; ISS, isolated sagittal craniosynostosis.

For each comparison, cells of the matrix contain the number of linear distance pairs with significantly different levels of morphological integration (given as a percentage in parentheses).
