Abstract

Sexual differences in the wildcat were evaluated on 15 variables in 49 pelvic and 38 sacral bones in wildcat from the Western Carpathians. Our data confirmed a male-biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in the pelvic and sacral bones. The effect size was very large for two pelvic (SB, smallest width of the shaft of the ilium; and LAR, length of the acetabulum) and two sacral traits (GB, greatest width across the wings; and BFcr, greatest width of the cranial articular surface). Our different allometric patterns in pelvic and sacral measures in both sexes may also be important in mode of locomotion. These findings highlight the need for morphometric analysis of species at the regional as well global level.

喀尔巴阡山脉西部野猫骨盆和骶骨大小的性别差异

对西喀尔巴阡山脉野猫49块骨盆和38块骶骨的15个变量进行了性别差异评估。我们的数据证实在骨盆和骶骨中存在男性偏向性大小二态性(SSD)。两个骨盆的效应量非常大(SB，髂骨轴最小宽度;和LAR，髋臼长度)和两个骶骨特征(GB，横跨翅膀的最大宽度;颅骨关节面最大宽度BFcr)。两性在骨盆和骶骨测量上不同的异速模式也可能对运动模式有重要影响。这些发现强调了在区域和全球水平上对物种进行形态计量分析的必要性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
