Observed means and standard deviations for body mass, tibia length and mid‐shaft cross‐sectional geometry in Longshanks and Control tibiae
| Body mass (g) | Tibia length (mm) | CSA (mm2) | Polar section modulus (mm3) | IR (mm2 mg−2/3) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Longshanks (n = 105) | 37.91 (0.56) | 19.42 (0.07) | 1.32 (0.02) | 0.48 (0.01) | 2.17 × 10 −5 |
| Control | |||||
| (n = 111) | 36.28 (0.58) | 17.46 (0.04) | 1.29 (0.02) | 0.45 (0.01) | 2.37 × 10 −5 |
| % Change | +4.5% | +11.2% | +2.1% | +5.1% | −8.6% |
Values in bold are significantly different between the two groups at P = 0.05, as determined using one‐way anova.
CSA, cross‐sectional area; IR, index of robusticity.
