Table 3 Matrices with results of tests for normality of the data produced using PAST (A, top) and including R-output of the Fligner–Killeen test (B, bottom) of homogeneity of variances (slope is short for septal slope factor)

From: Is the relative thickness of ammonoid septa influenced by ocean acidification, phylogenetic relationships and palaeogeographic position?
