Sexual dimorphism in cranial measurements was studied in Ural populations of two species of the genus Martes, M. martes and M. zibellina. The index of sexual dimorphism averaged 8.39% in the former and 9.03% in the latter, being subject to geographic variation. For the first time, temporal variability of sexual dimorphism in dimensional characters was revealed in mammals by analyzing M. zibellina samples collected in different decades of the second half of the 20th century. The majority of corresponding microtrends had reciprocating dynamics.
对貂属的两种动物，即松貂和紫貂的乌拉尔种群的颅骨测量中的两性异形进行了研究。在前一种动物中，两性异形指数平均为8.39%，在后一种动物中为9.03%，且存在地理变异。通过分析20世纪下半叶不同十年收集的紫貂样本，首次揭示了哺乳动物尺寸特征中两性异形的时间变异性。大多数相应的微观趋势具有往复动态。
