TABLE 2.
Relationship between shape, topographic parameters, and life stage. Shape is represented by scores on PC1 for the UMR, UM1, and UM1tr. Estimates of life stage are age, cubic root of weight, and mandible length (MdL). Coefficient of correlation and p‐value of a Pearson's product‐moment correlation computed within Balan W or within Balan L are provided. In bold: p < 0.001; underlined: p < 0.01; in italics: p < 0.05
