Table 1 Means and (standard deviations) of the measured morphological traits from sampled greater gliders across three regions. Mass unit is in kilograms, body length and tail length are measured in centimetres and all other measured traits are in millimetres.

From: Genetic evidence supports three previously described species of greater glider, Petauroides volans, P. minor, and P. armillatus
