TABLE 3. Morphological differences between C. jobimena, C. ansorgei, and C. pumilus based on nonparametric discriminant function analysis. Mahalanobis distances between discriminant function centroids differ according to the given F -statistics and probabilities (P). Differences in data availability for given specimens required the use of only select skull measurements and of separate discriminant analyses for skull, body, and wing measures. Skull characters used in the discriminant function analysis are listed in Table 4. Probabilities are approximate given small sample sizes
