Figure 20. Strengths of behavior-morphology correlations for selected taxa.

Figure 20

Correlate disruption values from Table 3, for incorrectly assigned behaviors in modern taxa and for Stegoceras validum when hypothesized as not head-butting. ∑ correlations values on the left indicate how much incorrect assignment perturbs the original correlations, and the scale on the right indicates how well the animals' morphology fits their “correct" behavior. The pachycephalosaur Stegoceras has a strong affinity with its hypothesized head-butting behavior, while the giraffe's lower score indicates ambiguous correlations between its morphology and behavior.
