| Heteroblasty | Landmark | EFD | Both | Max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 49.1% | 33.2% | 47.9% | Landmark |
| 2 | 22.9% | 19.5% | 27.0% | Both |
| 3 | 12.3% | 16.7% | 15.3% | EFD |
| 4 | 13.3% | 8.2% | 12.7% | Landmark |
| 5 | 6.2% | 12.2% | 9.0% | EFD |
| 6 | 7.0% | 9.0% | 9.9% | Both |
| 7 | 15.9% | 10.2% | 10.7% | Landmark |
| 8 | 5.9% | 13.6% | 14.2% | Both |
| 9 | 10.9% | 7.8% | 12.0% | Both |
| 10 | 12.8% | 11.1% | 11.6% | Landmark |
For each heteroblastic node its percent correct prediction using the indicated morphometric features (landmarks, EFDs, or both) with linear discriminants is provided. “Max” indicates the set of morphometric features providing the maximum discrimination of heteroblastic node identity.
