Eşeysel dimorfizm, kaplan böceklerinde türler arası varyasyonun önemli bir kaynağıdır. Buna rağmen, kaplan böceklerindeki eşeysel dimorfizm hakkında az şey bilinmektedir. Bu makale, endemik kaplan böceği Cephalota circumdata ssp. cappadocica Franzen, 1996 (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae)'nin baş ve pronotumundaki fenotipik değişiklikler bağlamında erkek ve dişilerin morfolojisini karşılaştırarak eşeysel dimorfizm alanındaki literatüre katkıda bulunmaktadır. Araştırmada incelenen tüm örnekler, 2016 yılında Mayıs-Ağustos ayları arasında Kırşehir (Türkiye) İlinde bulunan Seyfe Gölü çevresindeki tuzlu topraklardan toplanmıştır. Spesifik olarak, kaplan böceklerinin eşeysel dimorfizminin analizinde geometrik morfometrinin etkinliği değerlendirilmiştir. Baş ve pronotum şekil varyasyonlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuş ve regresyon sonuçları cinsiyetler arası bu şekil farklılaşmasında büyüklüğün etkisinin çok az olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca sadece şekil değişkenlerinin kullanıldığında, Jack-knife çapraz geçerlenmiş doğru sınıflandırma yüzdesi sırasıyla baş için %88 ve pronotum için %85 olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak geometrik morfometri, kaplan böceklerinde eşeysel dimorfizmin belirlenmesinde etkili ve kullanışlı bir yöntemdir.

Sexual dimorphism in the Anatolian endemic tiger beetle, Cephalota circumdata ssp. cappadocica Franzen, 1996 (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae): a study showing the effectiveness of geometric morphometrics

Öz

Sexual dimorphism is an important source of intraspecies variation in tiger beetles. However, little is known about sexual dimorphism in tiger beetles. This article contributes the literature in the field of sexual dimorphism by comparing the morphology of males and females in the context of phenotypic changes in the head and pronotum of endemic tiger beetle Cephalota circumdata ssp. cappadocica Franzen, 1996 (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae). All the specimens examined in the study were gathered during May and August of 2016 from salty soils around Seyfe Lake located in Kırşehir Province, Turkey. Specifically, the efficacy of geometric morphometrics was assessed in the analysis of sexual dimorphism of tiger beetles. Statistically significant differences were found in the head and pronotum shape variation and regression results indicated that size has little influence on the differentiation of shape among sexes. Moreover, the jackknifed cross-validated correct classification percentages for head and pronotum were 88% and 85%, respectively when using only the shape variables. Consequently, geometric morphometrics is an effective and useful method to determine sexual dimorphism in tiger beetles.
