Influence of MHC class II similarity on similarity of pigmentation (r-values) and morphometric measurements (distances) within families.

(Table shows results of the univariate General Linear Model (GLM) using only data from pair wise comparisons within (but not among) families; SD: standard deviation,SL: standard length (reaching from the nasal periphery of the eye to the caudal periphery of the spine); EL: eye length (reaching from the nasal to the caudal periphery of the eye); RL: rump length (reaching from the nasal periphery of the eye to the border between rump and tail); RAL: rump-anus-length (reaching from the nasal periphery of the eye to the anal opening) and TW: tail width (body width at the anal opening); significant results marked with asterisks. Note that high r-values represent high similarity between individuals while high distances represent low similarity).
