<p>Supplementary raw data, R scripts, and results underpinning analyses of geometric morphometric and linear data derived from scale insects; includes source code for all analyses, raw data for ostiole, leg, and body shape analyses, and alpha tables for body size analysis and ostioles analyses. Abbreviations are defined in the R script file. See README for list of resources.</p>
The purpose of this dataset is to analyze morphological differences in body size, body shape, ostiole size, and leg shape metrics for scale insects that belong to three classes: species of scale insects that are (i) obligate symbiotic associates of ants, (ii) potential (speculative) symbiotic associates of ants, and (iii) free-living (non-associated or at most facultatively associated).
