Figure 11. Canonical variates ordination of gonopod shape data for two Allothereua serrulata subspecies as assessed by landmark data and relative warps analysis. As there are only two groups the first canonical variate axes account for all of the observed between-groups shape variation. Nevertheless, higher canonical variates exist (see MacLeod, 2007) and the second canonical variate axis is shown here in order to illustrate aspects of the overall ordination in the discriminant space. Cross-tabulation analysis of these results using only the distribution along the first axis (Table 5) indicated that almost 85% of the sample can be assigned to the correct subspecies.
