Relationship between Meissner's corpuscles (MCs) density (A) and size (B), and either dexterity or dietary frugivory. The dexterity index was originally developed by Heffner & Masterton (1975) on the basis of the anatomy of the hand described by Napier & Napier (1967; see also Napier, 1961). The dietary frugivory was compiled from available data. See text for more details.
