The model revealed highly significant main effects of total body length (log 10 TBL) ( F = 3335.41, p < 2.2e‐16), indicating that mandible length strongly and predictably scales with overall body size.

Given the presence of significant interaction terms in the combined ANCOVA, particularly the log 10 TBL × SYM and the borderline significant log 10 TBL × SYM × Sex interactions, separate permutation‐based linear regressions were performed for each unique combination of coexisting species pair and sex (8 groups in total).
