DAPC on stage G32 tadpoles for CORT and morphological traits (body length, body depth, tail length, tail depth, tail muscle depth) in Rana arvalis. Tadpoles from an Acid origin (TT), Intermediate origin (BS) and a Neutral origin (RD) population were reared in an Acid (here: 4) and a Neutral (here: 7) pH treatment and two Blocks (A and B). All response variables were log transformed for this analysis. LD1 represented mostly variation in tail depth (TD), tail muscle depth (TMD) and CORT, LD2 represents mainly tail length (TL) and body depth (BD) (See main text and Additional file 3 for details)
