TABLE 4. Loadings of canonical axes 1 and 2 (C1 and C2) from canonical variates analysis for skull, body, and wing characters of C. jobimena, C. ansorgei, and C. pumilus. Eigenvalues represent the variation among species centroids explained by each axis. The data used are the same used in the discriminant function analysis (Table 3). Missing data for some specimens required the use of only select skull measurements and of seperate analyses for skull, body, and wing measures. Loadings suggest that upper toothrow, maxillary toothrow, total length, forearm length, hindfoot length, third digit first phalanx, and fourth digit second phalanx are important in distinguishing the species
