Fig. 2.—Graphs of body size and the relative proportions of elements comprising ray III of myosoricines (Congosorex, Myosorex, and Surdisorex) and 2 talpids (Neurotrichus and Uropsilus). A) Box-andwhisker plot of body size as represented by head-and-body length in millimeters (mm). A cross represents the mean, the box shows SD, and "whiskers" represent the range. B) Mean lengths of individual elements of ray III in mm. Colors and abbreviations in B, C, and D: cl, claw; dp, distal phalanx; mp, middle phalanx; pp, proximal phalanx; mc, metacarpal. C) Mean lengths of individual elements of ray III expressed as a proportion of the combined length of the proximal 3 elements (3P3L). The distal end of each middle phalanx is at 100%. D) Mean lengths of individual elements of ray III expressed as a proportion of body size.
