TABLE 1. Results of the Principal Component Analyses of quantitative morphological traits (see methods), standardized to SVL for adult male and female Amnirana ‘ albolabris West’ and A. fonensis (compare Fig. 1). Provided are ‘eigenvalue’, and explained variance for the first four PC axes (% variance), as well as the values per morphological trait on those four axes.
