PCA for M. martensii

In Table 7 five principal components are associated with eigenvalues greater than 1, while the total eigenvalue is 10.411, and the total of the five components reaches 69.411% of the accumulated variance. The matrix of component loadings is given in Table 7. The scree plot is in Fig. 6 View Figure 6 .

In the score plots of the first and second principal components (PCs), PC 1 vs. PC 2 ( Fig. 7), it was observed that the females of M. martensii were not separated to form independent groups. Likewise in Fig. 8 View Figure 8 , PC 1 vs. PC 3, Fig. 9 View Figure 9 , PC 1 vs. PC 4 and Fig. 10 View Figure 10 , PC 1 vs. PC 5. All results indicate for females, the variation of M. martensii was below the species level.

In Table 8, four principal components are associated with eigenvalues greater than 1, while the total eigenvalue is 10.471, and the total of the four components reaches 69.814% of the accumulated variance. The matrix of component loadings is shown, and the scree plot is in Fig. 11 View Figure 11 .

In the score plots of the first and second principal components (PCs), PC 1 vs. PC 2 ( Fig. 12), it was observed that the males of M. martensii were not separated to form independent groups. Likewise in Fig. 13 View Figure 13 , PC 1 vs. PC 3, and Fig. 14 View Figure 14 , PC 1 vs. PC 4. All results indicate for males, the variation of M. martensii was below the species level.

The PCA results for both sexes of M. martensii indicated that the variation of M. martensii was below the species level.
