Sexual size and shape dimorphism in two ground beetle taxa, <ce:italic>Carabus</ce:italic> (<ce:italic>Procrustes</ce:italic>) <ce:italic>coriaceus cerisyi</ce:italic> and <ce:italic>C</ce:italic>. (<ce:italic>Morphocarabus</ce:italic>) <ce:italic>kollari praecellens</ce:italic> (Coleoptera: Carabidae) - A geometric morphometric approach
We investigated morphometric variation in size and shape of the head, pronotum, and abdomen between the taxa and sexes of two ground beetles, Carabus coriaceus cerisyi Dejean, 1826 and C. kollari praecellens Palliardi, 1825. These two taxa differ in overall size, and both of them are characterized b...
