TABLE 3 in 2 D Geometric morphometrics of the first lower molar of the genus Meles Brisson, 1762 including new badger evidence from the Lower Pleistocene Quibas site (Murcia, Spain)

TABLE 3. — Procrustes distances between the different Meles groups analyzed. The numbers in bold with the symbol ** mean that the distance is statistically significant at level 0.01, whereas * means that it is only statistically significant at level 0.05 (permutation test (n = 1000) of the Procrustes distance between species means in MorphoJ (Klingenberg 2011).
