Table 2 Descriptive statistics and sexual dimorphism of the 123 skeletal measures taken on 10 specimens (five male / five female) of Blommersia transmarina. Measures are partitioned into anatomical regions to facilitate lecture:SVL,skull, pectoral girdle, forelimb, vertebral column, pelvic girdle, and hind limb. Significant differences in mean length between males and females (α = 0.05) are shown in bold.Abbreviations follow those in the description of the measurements (Appendix 1) (cont.).| (mm) | N | range | min | max | Sexual dimorphism | partial eta-squared | Median Mean | sd | Asymmetry | Kurtosis |
