Results from multiple regressions pooling all H. garnoti (species=1) and G. gecko (species=2), attempting to explain variation in relative stride length, stride frequency and duty factor(dependent variables) using relative speed, loading condition and species(independent variables) in each regression

NS, non-significant.
Relative stride length, stride length divided by mass; Relative speed,speed divided by mass.
