Broken scaling of a morphometric trait, scape length (SL) on cephalic length (CL) is illustrated in two species, C. alamaina (red) and C. varatra (blue). The scaling break splits the populations into two discrete phenotypes: minors (triangles) and majors (circles). The dark grey areas show confidence interval, the regression line is computed by linear model.
