Table 3.
Loadings of processing parameters on the first two principal components (PC1 and PC2)
| Parameter | PC1 | PC2 |
|---|---|---|
| (18) Duration hyobranchial movement cycle | 0.836a | −0.123 |
| (15) Magnitude hyobranchial depression | 0.779a | 0.353 |
| (14) Magnitude hyobranchial elevation | 0.663a | 0.480 |
| (1) Magnitude gape opening | −0.036 | 0.872a |
| (3) Duration gape opening | 0.300 | 0.699a |
| Total variance explained (%) | 48.1 | 21.0 |
Parameters marked with aload strongly (> 0.5) on each respective principal component. Note that parameters connected to hyobranchial movement load more strongly in PC1 while parameters connected to gape movements load more strongly on PC2
