Sexual Morphometric Variation in Pronotum of Dorcadion anatolicum Pic, 1900 (Cerambycidae:Coleoptera)

Abstract

Understanding sexual dimorphism is very important in studies of insect evolution. Though sexual dimorphism has been the subject of numerous entomological studies there have no examined sexual dimorphism in Dorcadion anatolicum Pic, 1900 which is endemic to Turkey. In this study, using geometric morphometrics, we analyzed the sexual size and shape dimorphism of pronotum of specimens collected from Konya Province. Results of geometric morphometrics revealed that the size and shape of the pronotum can be effectively used in morphological discrimination of the sexes.
