Procrustes analysis of variance of the amount of shape variation attributable to different sources. Sum of squares, mean square, and variance components are in units of squared Procrustes distances (variance components × 106). The percentage contribution (% variance) of each variance component to the total variance also is given. I stands for individuals, and side (S) indicates directional asymmetry. The interaction I × S stands for fluctuating asymmetry, and the residual variance indicates the measurement error. ***P < 0.001.
