|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jones & George (1982) | 413 | 4 | 0.990 | 0.010 | Right/left counts derived from reported totals and proportions |
| Williams & Heng (1981) | 472 | 15 | 0.965 | 0.031 | Right/left counts derived from reported totals and proportions. Does not add up to 100% because 1 individual had 2 large claws, but even accounting for that there still seems to be one individual missing (likely the reported %'s were slightly off due to rounding) |
