Plethodon comparative SVL data

Description

Snout-to-vent-length (SVL) data for two species of salamanders

Details

The data set is a subset of data from two species of salamanders (Plethodon cinereus and P. hoffmani) in eastern North America (based on Adams and Rohlf, 2000; Adams, 2000), collected from the Smithsonian Museum (Washington DC, USA). Data include species, locality (whether in sympatry or allopatry), and SVL in mm. These data are suitable data for demonstrating single factor and factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA). (ANCOVA), used in the book, Permutational Biometry (Collyer & Adams, 2025).
