Figure 2. Taxon-specific femoral diaphyseal shapes.

Figure 2

A: principle of morphometric map generation (anterior [0°] → medial [90°] → posterior [180°] → lateral [270°] → anterior [360°]). B, C: morphometric maps of taxon-specific morphologies at ontogenetic stages m2 (B, infant) and M3 (C, adult) (false-color images of external surface curvature [relative units]). la: linea aspera, lsp: lateral spiral pilaster, ps: popliteal surface.
