Displayed values represent significance levels (p-values) obtained via permutation (RRPP). Different traits are geographic distribution, macrohabitat and lifestyles. Distances above the diagonal represent differences in morphological disparity among the evolutionary traits. Asterisks (*) depict significant values (p ≤ 0.05)
