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.

Özet

Eşeysel dimorfizmi anlamak böcek evrimi çalışmalarında oldukça önemlidir. Eşeysel dimorfizm çalışmaları birçok entomolojik çalışmaya konu olmasına rağmen, Türkiye’ye endemik bir tür olan Dorcadion anatolicum Pic, 1900 üzerine bu konuda bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, geometrik morfometri kullanarak, Konya ilinden toplanan örneklerin pronotumlarının eşeysel büyüklük ve şekil dimorfizmini analiz ettik. Geometrik morfometri sonuçları, pronotum boyut ve şeklinin eşeylerin morfolojik ayrımında etkin bir biçimde kullanılabileceğini ortaya koydu.
