Procrustes Distances Between Astroblepus Fish Species

Procrustes distances between pairs of Astroblepus species, with p-values indicating statistically significant differences. The dataset is a small 11.1 KB Excel file authored by Kevin P. Chugá-Puetate and last updated in April 2026. It is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Conduct pairwise statistical comparisons of species morphology based on Procrustes distances.
• Identify species with significant morphological differences based on p-values below 0.0001.
• Perform shape analysis for taxonomic or phylogenetic studies of the Astroblepus genus.

Strengths

• Includes statistical significance indicators (p-values) for the pairwise comparisons.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for open reuse.
• Small 11.1 KB size ensures quick download and inspection.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness must be verified.
