Table 1. Parameters used to reconstruct composite OTUs from summary statistics. Example from Nakrem (1995), Alternifenestella cf. tenuiseptata. Definition for character abbreviations in Figure 2, "original" in black are summary statistics from Nakrem (1995), "reconstructed" in blue are summary statistics calculated from normal order deviates (Table 2) – SD = standard deviation, Min = minimum value, Max = maximum value, n = number of measurements/reconstructed data scores. Character abbreviations are given in Figure 2.
