Table 2 in Do mismatched genitalia promote mechanical isolation in syntopic species of Phalloceros fishes (Poeciliidae)?

‘Papillae only’, ‘hooks only’ and ‘shape only’ each refer to cases in which the adults of a syntopic species pair differ in only one genital character (‘low’ degree of mismatch).‘Papillae + hook’, ‘papillae + shape’ and ‘hooks + shape’ describe cases whereby the adults of a syntopic species pair exhibit interspecific differences in two genital traits only (‘medium’ degree of mismatch).‘Papillae + hooks + shape’ refers to cases whereby the adults of two syntopic species exhibit interspecific differences in all three genital traits (‘high’ degree of mismatch). Data are from the Supporting Information (Table S3). Note that P.maldonadoi is a newly described species of Phalloceros (see Souto-Santos et al.2023).
