TABLE 2 | Analysis of variance (ANOVA-like) permutation tests for Fourier and Wavelet coefficients of otolith shape among males and females of Scleromystax barbatus from southern and southeastern areas in the Atlantic Rainforest biome. Bold numbers denote significant differences (considering F and p-values). DF = Degree of freedom, SS = Sum of squares. SeFe (Females from the southeastern region), SeMa (Males from the southeastern region), SFe (Females from the southern region), SMa (Males from the southern region).
