Covarying Shell Growth Parameters and the Regulation of Shell Shape in Marine Bivalves: A Case Study on Tellinoidea
Figure 2
The elongation , the ventral convexity , and the dissymmetry of shell outline computed against growth-based parameters ((1), (2), and (3)). Ventral convexity is increasing with both α and ρ, while the elongation increases with α but decreases with ρ. The dissymmetry increases with δ and decreases with α.
