Table 2.

Descriptive statistics for morphometric measurements of adults from Rhinella margaritifera from Amazonian Ecuador and Rhinella alata from Chocó and Panama. Mean ± SD is given, with the range below. Abbreviations are: SVL = Snout-Vent Length; TL = Tibia Length; FL = Femur Length; HL= Head Length; HW = Head Width; STCH = Supratympanic Crest Height; SOCH = Supraorbital Crest Height; NSD = Nostril-Snout Distance; IND = Inter-Nostril Distance; TD = Tympanum Diameter; FT = Foot Length. All measurements are in mm.
