Fig. 3. Relative height of shell (expressed as a percentage of width) and relative width of posterior plastral lobe (expressed as a percentage of plastral length) in two subspecies of Pseudemys scripta. The data presented are for 62 specimens (40 ♀, 22 ♂) of P. s. taylori and 37 specimens (13 ♀, 24 ♂) of P. s. elegans. Horizontal and vertical lines represent the mean and range, respectively, whereas open and solid rectangles represent one standard deviation and two standard errors of the mean, respectively.
