Table 1.
Descriptive statistics for morphometric measurements of male Hypsiboas alfaroi, Hypsiboas almendarizae, Hypsiboas calcaratus, Hypsiboas fasciatus, Hypsiboas maculateralis, and Hypsiboas tetete used for Principal Component Analysis. Mean ± SD is given with range below. Bold figures represent combined values for males of all populations. Abbreviations are: SVL = Snout-vent length; FOOT = Foot length; HL = Head length; HW = Head width; ED = Eye diameter; TD = Tympanum diameter; TL = Tibia length; FL = Femur length; CL = Calcar length. All measurements are in mm.
