TABLE 2. Summary of lepidosis and measurements (mm) of Microlophus slevini and M. grayii. Range followed by mean ± standard deviation are presented. For each character, except maximum SVL, the t-value and corresponding pvalue (p <0.05 with asterisks) calculated with Two sample t-tests are given. Italics indicate that a t-test assuming unequal variances (i.e., p <0.05, Levene test) was performed.
