Figure 2From: Costs and benefits of reticulate leaf venationPositive correlations among the four network measures we quantified in this study; VLA, loopiness, meshedness and robustness. As leaf networks become more like planar networks and less like trees, their loopiness, VLA, and ability to buffer disturbance increases. Note, in this and Figure 3 a single VLA value of 10.76 is not shown for figure clarity.Back to article page
