Table 1. Univariate statistics, test of normality, and results of the Ryan–Einot–Gabriel–Welsch multiple range test for external and craniodental measurements of Pseudoromicia species. For each species, the top row (species label) also indicates the sample size (number in parentheses). Results displayed include mean ± standard deviation, sample size for each measurement (in parentheses) when different from the sample size of individuals examined for the species, and range (minimum value – maximum value). A “†” after the mean value indicates a non–normal distribution for that variable. Superscripts associated with the mean for the value identify statistically significantlydifferentgroupsasjudgedbythe Ryan–Einot–Gabriel–Welsch multiplerange test, arrangedinorderof descendingsize (a> b> c …). Meanswiththesame letter are not significantly different from each other, and different means may, depending on their variance, be members of several groups. Stars by the character indicate the significance level of the character in the analysis of variance; **: <0.01; ****: <0.0001.
