Table VI in Junior synonymy of Mulloides armatus and intraspecific comparisons of the yellowstripe goatfish Mulloidichthys flavolineatus (Mullidae) using a comprehensive alpha-taxonomy approach

Table VI. – Results of PCA with loadings of the first four principal components (PC1- PC4), variance explained, and results from one-way ANOVA of the three groups indicated by letters as explained in Tab. V. For each principal component loading values> 0.6 or the three highest loading values are emphasized with bold italics.
