Figure 6.
Diagrams depicting functional postures for the shell instability (A) and hindrance (B) in the spire height and aperture inclination (log10T − Δ) morphospace for W = 100.2, D = 0, and Г = 0. Each color in the morphospace shows which posture achieves the lower value of the norm/projected area on each shell shape (yellow for Paperture, light blue for Pgrowth). The criterion for including a specimen on the plots is that W = 100.2 ± 0.1. (C) Theoretical models with log10T = −0.1 and Δ = 0 at Paperture (left) and Pgrowth (right). Both the norm and projected area become small at Pgrowth. (D) Theoretical models with log10T = 0.9 and Δ = 0 at Paperture (left) and Pgrowth (right). Both the norm and projected area become small at Paperture.
