Phenotypic difference between each specimen for each landmark in the 11-module dataset and the mean skull shape.For each specimen, the mean landmark configuration is plotted with points coloured relative to the Procrustes distance between the position of that point in the mean shape and in that specimen. Warmer colours denote landmarks having higher displacement from the mean, and cooler colours are more similar to the mean shape. Data and code archived at www.github.com/rnfelice/Dinosaur_Skulls .
