Table 3.

Results from the PGLS and ANOVA. Stars denote significant values. Collection depth, maximum depth, and pre-anal fin length were tested independently. Akaike information criterion (AIC) values are reported for each model. The metric with the lowest AIC value for each bone appears in bold type. The p-values below an alpha threshold of 0.05 are marked with an asterisks and bold type.
