Table 4 Morphometric and pairwise comparison between the groups. The table presents the between-group sum of squares (SS), degrees of freedom (df), mean square (MS), F-statistic (F), partial n2, 95% confidence intervals, cohen’s d and corresponding p-value for each parameter. Statistically significant results (p < 0.05) are marked with an asterisk (*). A detailed pairwise comparison table has been attached as a supplementary file table S2.
