From: Are toe fringes important for lizard burying in highly mobile sand?
Path analysis diagram of sand burial of Phrynocephalus mystaceus. Note: This path model examines how sand burial is affected by the morphology and different substrates (CS: comprehensive score; NHS: number of hind-limb swings; THS: time of hind-limb swings; TFA: the total area of all toes; AS: angle of stability; 2D:4D: toe length ratio of 2D: 4D; MB: mouth breadth; AW: abdominal width). A: no cut; B: bilateral cut. The solid lines represent the relationship between the different indicators and the comprehensive score, the dashed lines represent the relationship between the individual indicators. Numbers next to the path represent the relative contributions of different substrates during sand burial.
