Classification success and jacknifed classification success (in brackets) of the discriminant function analysis using A) stable isotope signatures and B) multiple morphometric measurements as the predictor variable. Classification success describes the predictive accuracy with which an individual is correctly associated with any of the classes of interest that were defined a priori. Correctly classified individuals are shown in bold.
