Figure 6. Geometric morphometric analysis of between-population variation of the shape of the forcipular coxosternite in Clinopodes carinthiacus s.s.. The left panel shows landmarks (circles) and semilandmarks (diamonds) on a representative specimen (PD-G 7787, from population GUI). The right panel shows the distribution of 40 specimens from eight populations (codes as in Table 1) on the first and second principal components (bgPC 1 and bgPC 2) obtained from a between-group principal components analysis of the symmetric component of the shape. Polygons indicate populations. The wireframes along the components represent the variation in shape (dark blue) in comparison to the average shape (light blue).
