Table 4 Results of Kruskal-Wallis test for equal medians and Mann-Whitney pairwise post-hoc test with assumed sequential Bonferroni significance of breaking point between groups. Phthiracaroidea have been sorted by body length. Numbers in bold indicate significant result. A, Archegozetes longisetosus; E, Euphthiracaroidea; P, Phthiracaroidea (PS, P smaller than E; PE, P with same length as E; PXL, P larger than E); S, Steganacarus magnus
