Description

FIGURE 7. Longitudinal patterns of morphological variation in the L. microtis group. The x-axis represents a west–east geographical space across coastal southern Australia, and the y-axis describes important dimensions of morpho-spatial variation: (A) PC1 scores, derived from six mensural characters; (B) nMDS1 scores, and (C) nMDS2 scores, derived from five non-mensural characters. The line of best fit and 95% confidence interval are denoted by the black line and grey shaded zone, respectively. These graphs illustrate a mostly continuous and clinal structuring of phenotypic characters in the Lerista microtis group.
