Table 3: Pairwise comparison of continental populations and insular reindeer subpopulations in isometric size and Log Shape Ratio for the distal and proximal parts of the metatarsal and metacarpal.

			Proximal				Distal
p-Value of the size comparisons are in the lower hemi-matrices while the p-values for LSR comparisons are in the upper hemi-matrices.Significant p-value are presented in bold.p-Value were corrected for multitest comparison for each pairwise analysis separately. a Continental population. Bold values mean significant tests.
