Evolution of body size, vision, and biodiversity of coral-associated organisms: evidence from fossil crustaceans in cold-water coral and tropical coral ecosystems

Table 5 P-values of Mann–Whitney tests comparing decapod sizes of Faxe to those of various other localities

	ENCI/St. Pietersberg, The Netherlands (Upper Cretaceous, Maastrichtian)	Koskobilo, Spain (mid-Cretaceous, Albian)	Contrada Gecchelina di Monte di Malo, Italy (Eocene, Ypresian)	Braggi Quarry at Vestenanova, Italy (Eocene, Ypresian)
Faxe (all decapods) - width	0.54	0.01*	0.70	0.13
Faxe (all crabs) - width	0.14	0.01*	0.69	0.01*
Faxe (all decapods) - geometric mean	0.32	0.05*	-	-
Faxe (all crabs) - geometric mean	0.05*	0.03*	-	-

Statistically significant results indicated by *, all of which imply that Faxe decapods are larger. Length was infrequently available for taxa from the Italian localities; hence, no geometric means were used for comparisons
