Morphometric Measurements of Nymphargus dajomesae Adult Males

Morphometric measurements in millimeters for the newly described frog species Nymphargus dajomesae. The dataset contains 12 anatomical measurements, including snout-vent length and head width, for adult male specimens. Mylena V. Masache-Sarango published the data on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Calculate species diagnostic ratios, such as tibia length to snout-vent length (TL/SVL).
• Compare head shape using features like head width (HW), head length (HL), and inter-orbital distance (IOD).
• Analyze limb proportions via tibia length (TL) and foot length (FL) measurements.
• Assess sensory organ size using horizontal eye diameter (ED) and tympanum diameter (TD).

Strengths

• Data includes 12 distinct morphometric variables per specimen.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating a limited number of individual specimens.
• Scope is restricted to adult males of a single species, limiting demographic and comparative analysis.
• No sample size (row count) is provided, obscuring statistical power.
