From: Scale effects and morphological diversification in hindlimb segment mass proportions in neognath birds

Figure 5

Scaling of thigh (orange), shank (blue), tarsometatarsal segment (green), and digit (yellow) masses for the Land Bird subsample. The upper plot (A) depicts scaling relationships relative to body mass, whereas the lower plot (B) depicts scaling relationships relative to hindlimb length. In addition to the slope and confidence limits provided in the plots, the results of F-tests testing for departures from isometry are listed in Table 3.
