  1. Statistically significant differences between males and females based on Mahalanobis distances are denoted with asterisks (permutation 10,000 rounds in MorphoJ: ***P < 0.0001; **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05). Hemipyrellia pulchra has only females, thus it could not be used for classifying between sexes
