Table 5. Relation between morphotype and feeding type concept. (a) Observed numbers of morphotypes and expected numbers of feeding types for χ2-test. (b) Observed numbers of feeding types and expected numbers of morphotypes for χ2-test. Values were transformed to percentages (in parentheses) in order to preserve column totals
