Table 2.

ANCOVA results the test of slopes and intercepts of regression equations of three species of fiddler crabs (Leptuca terpsichores, L. beebei and Petruca panamensis): a) Spoon-tipped setae against carapace width; b) Plumose setae against carapace width. *: significant; n.s.: not significant

Predictor			F	p
a)	Spoon-tipped setae
		Carapace width	138.88	0.000
		Species	0.72	0.487
		Carapace width × Species	29.19	0.000	*: Slopes significantly different
b)	Plumose setae
		Carapace width	136.61	0.000
		Species	2.15	0.119	n.s.: Intercepts not different
		Carapace width × Species	0.38	0.685	n.s.: Slopes not different
