Point pattern analysis of the morphospace occupation pattern of extant African Carnivora.

<p>A. Kernel density plot. The same three hotspots as in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0057944#pone-0057944-g002" target="_blank">Figure 2A</a> are seen. B. Ripley's K analysis of the patterns seen in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0057944#pone-0057944-g003" target="_blank">Figure 3A</a>. In this case, there is significant attraction between points at shorter distances (the line lies above the 95% confidence interval limits) but randomness at longer ones (the line lies within the 95% confidence envelope).
