Correlations of muscle and ‘tendon’ modelling parameters with muscle activity. MT, muscle–tendon; ORTH, orthogonal to the tendon plane; PLANE, in line with the tendon plane; MT ratio, muscle–tendon length ratio. First value, p-value; correlation coefficient (R) in brackets.

| Anax imperator | 0.180 (−0.38) | 0.265 (−0.21) | 0.612 (0.16) |
| Aeshna mixta | 0.824 (−0.05) | 0.119 (0.44) | 0.505 (−0.13) |
| Onychogomphus forcipatus | 0.726 (0.05) | 0.02 (−0.31) | 0.793 (0.19) |
| Cordulegaster bidentata | 0.580 (−0.09) | 0.092 (−0.28) | 0.308 (0.04) |
| Sympetrum vulgatuma | 0.476 (−0.22) | 0.612 (0.16) | 0.358 (−0.27) |
aAgain, values for Sympetrum based on [10] are presented for direct comparison with the specimens studied here.
