  • Principal component loadings (eigenvectors) for PC2 and PC4 are listed. Only those values with a bootstrap significance of ≤0.05 are shown. Reference points for selected metrics of PC4 are displayed in Figure 1. Additional reference landmarks for PC2 are described in Chase et al. 2002: Table 2; (Fig. 3B,D,E). OD = outer diameter; ID = internal diameter.
