Figure 3

Eigenvalue distribution for the PC's, derived from each of the five datasets individually. (A) Values for the 9 PC's capturing variation in the whole wing, and (B) for the 3 PC's capturing variation for the five landmarks that define the central region of the wing. The decomposition of eigenvalues is comparable for all datasets, with the exception of the Backcross (BC) dataset which deviates qualitatively for the first component in both panels. To illustrate the consistency of shape capture, the principal components for the NC and CA populations were extracted individually for this Figure. All other analyses were conducted on PC's estimated for the CA and NC populations jointly.
