Figure 7.

Relationships between middle ear parameters and skull size in armadillos, based on log‐transformed data. (A) Middle ear cavity volume vs. total skull length; (B) Volume of the malleo‐incudal complex vs. total skull length; (C) Stapes volume vs. total skull length; (D) Tympanic membrane pars tensa area vs. total skull length; (E) Stapes footplate area vs. total skull length; (F) Malleus lever arm vs. total skull length; (G) Incus lever arm vs. total skull length. The calculated regression lines are indicated as dotted lines. Members of the same species are ringed. See Table 4 for further information.
