Fig 16. The frequency of 18.5-week old turkeys along the first canonical variate for lateral lower mandible shape variation.

The frequency of male (black) and female (grey) turkeys along the axis of the first canonical variate. The first canonical variate accounted for all right lateral shape variation in the lower mandible for male and female turkeys at 18.5 weeks of age. The light blue beak outlines represent the mean lateral shape of the lower mandible for these 18.5-week old turkeys. The dark blue outlines are visual representations of the lateral lower mandible shape at the minimum and maximum scores for these 18.5-week old turkeys along this canonical variate.
