Modification of vertebral regions explains heart position in arboreal colubrids (Serpentes: Colubridae) Author Nash-Hahn, Tamika Author Stepanova, Natasha Author Davis Rabosky, Alison R Author Sherratt, Emma text Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 2024 2024-02-27 202 3 1 14 https://doi.org/10.1093/zoolinnean/zlae022 journal article 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlae022 0024-4082 14290867

Table 1. ANCOVA of intracolumnar profile shape predicted by ecological groups (ecology) with heart position as a covariate (f1 = intracolumnar profile ~ heart position * ecology). Where intracolumnar profile is the x,y coordinates of vertebra position and cumulative relative size as seen in Figure 3. Degrees of freedom (d.f.), sum of squares (SS), mean square (MS), coefficient of determination (R 2), test statistic (F), effect size (Z), and P -value based upon the F statistic (Pr) for each factor are provided
