MANCOVA analyses examining how shape variation is related to various factors. As a result of finding significant interactions between ecomorph and genetic cluster, separate MANCOVA analyses were performed for each genetic cluster (St. Lawrence, Hudson, and Ontario). Note that partial variance explained does not sum to unity (Langerhans and DeWitt 2004).
