Fig. 2. Empirical and theoretical morphospace.
Theoretical morphospace (B) is built by extending the limits of empirical morphospace (A) and calculating the shape data at each point in a regular 23-by-21 grid. Legend shows symbols and colors for individual taxa from four clades: Sarcopterygii (Sarc.), Chondrichthyes and acanthodians (Chon.), Placodermi (Plac.), and Actinopterygii (Acti.). Blue area in theoretical morphospace represents the extent of empirical morphospace.
