Finite element analysis results. FEA contour plots (A–F) and bar graph (G) representing results from the intervals method. Negative strain values indicate compressive strain, positive values indicate tensile strain. A: Deinonychus antirrhopus, B: Dromaeosaurus albertensis, C: Linheraptor exquisitus, D: Tsaagan mangas, E: Velociraptor mongoliensis (IGM 100/25), F: Halszkaraptor escuilliei, G: Gobivenator mongoliensis. H: Plot of intervals strain data. X-axis denotes intervals of strain; V1 indicates the interval of lowest strain, V4 the interval of highest strain. The y-axis indicates the percentage of the total area of each model experiencing that level of strain
