Discrimination of the sister hedgehog species Erinaceus concolor and E. roumanicus(Erinaceomorpha: Mammalia): a geometric morphometric approach
. Abstract: This study investigates skull variation between the two closely related hedgehog species, Erinaceus concolor and E. roumanicus by using geometric morphometric analyses based on 2-dimensional landmarks. For this purpose, a total of 68 specimens were evaluated: 54 E. concolor and 14 E. roumanicus. The results of PCA, ANOVA and MANOVA analyses showed significant shape differences between the species, especially for the dorsal cranium. Shape differences were most prominent on the neurocranium and viscerocranium regions of the dorsal surface of the cranium and in mandibular ramus and the premolar regions. DFA tests were statistically significant against the null hypothesis of equal species means and crossvalidation scores were high enough to distinguish the species. Regression analyses also showed highly significant allometric differences between the two species, for both crania and mandibles. Finally, this study indicates that E. roumanicus is not only present in the European part of Turkey, but also in northwestern Anatolia.
期刊介绍:
The Turkish Journal of Zoology is published electronically 6 times a year by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK).
-Accepts English-language manuscripts in various fields of zoology including systematics, developmental biology, behaviour biology, animal models, molecular biology and molecular phylogeny, genomics, physiology (cell communication and signaling systems), biochemistry and immunohistochemistry, applied parasitology and pathology, nanobiotechnology, ecology, evolution, and paleontology of animal taxa.
-Contribution is open to researchers of all nationalities.
-Short communications are also welcome, such as reports of a preliminary nature or those including new records from specific localities or regions, and the editor reserves the right to decide that a paper be treated as a short communication.
-The papers that deal with purely checklists, new host and non-regional new locality records will not be consider for publication.
-Letters to the editor reflect the opinions of other researchers on the articles published in the journal. The editor may also invite review articles concerning recent developments in particular areas of interest.
