The ANOVA-like permutation test for the Fourier/Wavelet coefficients indicated significant differences between otoliths of males of  Scleromystax barbatus from southern and southeastern areas in the Atlantic Rainforest biome, and also between otoliths of males from southeastern areas and females of southern areas of the Atlantic Rainforest biome (Tab. 2).</p><p>The Fourier and Wavelet reconstructions showed differences among the mean otolith outlines between the southern and southeastern areas (Fig. 3). The highest variation was observed for the extremum anterior, the posterior region and medial regions of the sulcus. Otoliths from the southeastern areas are more elongated in these portions, mainly in the Wavelet reconstruction. Conversely, high overlaps in the lateral sulcus and in the lateral and medial gibbus maculae regions were observed.</p><p>The CAP assessments indicated that otolith shape was not homogeneous among the southern and southeastern regions, for both coefficients (ANOVA-like, P &lt;0.01). The first two principal coordinates axes explained 94.4% of the total Fourier coefficient variation and 94.3% of the Wavelet coefficient variation (Fig. 4).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0E7687EC8E1FFFA5FE29FDD7BAADFAF2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
