Fig. 3

Scatterplots of the first two principal components (PC1 vs. PC2) from the symmetric component of shape variation (individual variation, Ind) for the mandible (a) and cranium (b). Age categories: A1—first age category, A2—second age category, A3—third age category. Shape changes (magnified 3 times for the cranium) among categories separated along PC1 axis are visualized by TPS deformation grids
