Table 4

Proportion of individuals climbing (PC), mean body length and leg length, and number of tarsal segments for the ten most abundant species included in an analysis of covariance to assess the relationship between proportion climbing and mean leg IV length. Mean lengths and tarsal count are based on measurements for six adult males of each species.
