Description

Figure 3. (a) Geometric morphometric analysis of cranial lateral profiles, showing the change in orbit position and length of the zygomatic arch along PC1. The arrow in the morphospace suggests similar patterns of difference between Amphimachairodus–Machairodus and P. leo–P. tigris. (b) Eyesight range and rostral length of some big cats, showing the different adaptations. (c) Boxplots of the angle between the long axis of orbit and the sagittal plane (in ventral view), showing the relationship between angle and focal ability.
