FIG. 16. — Plot of metacarpal III+IV (A) and metatarsal III+IV (B) scores on principal components (PC) 1 and 2 obtained from the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of 8 size-adjusted morphometric variables (following Scott & Barr 2014; see Maniakas & Kostopoulos 2017a). Original raw data. Metapodial measurements: MLEN, maximum length; PAP, proximal epiphysis anteroposterior diameter; PML, proximal epiphysis mediolateral (transverse) diameter; MAP, midshaft (determined using MLEN) anteroposterior diameter; MML, midshaft mediolateral diameter; MVAP, medial trochear verticilli anteroposterior diameter; LVAP, lateral trochlear verticilli anteroposterior diameter; IDML, inferior aspect of distal epiphysis greatest mediolateral diameter; MGSV, Metapodial Global Size Variable (see Scott & Barr 2014).
