Figure 6

(a) Morphospace based on a CVA representing the pattern of humerus shaft cortical topography divergence among wild boars and pigs living in free-ranging or captive environments. Minimum and maximum shaft cortical topography are shown for each axis. See Fig. 1 for the identification of each muscle attachment in the consensus map. (b) Consensus maps are shown for four groups: wild-caught wild boars (WB_wc & ctrl; GCV = 0.009016), captive-reared wild boars (WB_stall & pen; GCV = 0.006548), captive pigs (DP_improv & land; GCV = 0.011224), and free-ranging pigs (DP_cor; GCV = 0.003657). Each consensus map is compared with the wild-caught wild boars map, and the deformation map is displayed between them. On each map, attachment sites of the four muscles are displayed as visual cues.
