Fig. 5From: Differing effects of size and lifestyle on bone structure in mammalsTrait convergence among mammalian lifestyles. Phenograms depicting reconstructed evolution of the vertebral centrum Connectivity (a) and humeral diaphysis elongation (b), midshaft cross-sectional shape (c), and mean global compactness (d). Note the number of branches leading to the specialised clades (coloured) evolving in the same direction for converging traits (e.g. in a twelve out of 13 subterranean clades increased their Connectivity when compared to their direct ancestor).
