Principal component 1 was strongly bipolar (i.e., influenced by the differential contribution of two variables), with dorsal fin length (0.575) and, to a lesser extent, anal fin anterior margin (0.32) loading heavily to the positive. Conversely, several variables contributed similarly to negative loadings. Foremost among them were anal fin posterior margin (-0.358) and head length (-0.343). Results of the
