Intersexual differences in morphometrics were investigated in five species of the catshark genus Scyliorhinus. ANCOVA was used to test 59 measurements, considering capture location and total length as covariates. In all examined species, pelvic-anal distances and pelvic-fin inner margin lengths were greater in males than in females, representing a clear pattern for the genus.
本研究调查了 5 种猫鲨属(Scyliorhinus)鱼类的形态差异。采用协方差分析(ANCOVA),考虑捕获地点和全长作为协变量,对 59 项测量指标进行了检验。在所研究的所有物种中,雄性的臀肛距和臀鳍内缘长度大于雌性,这代表了该属的一个明显模式。
