Sexual dimorphism in the walrus mandible: comparative description and geometric morphometrics

Sexual dimorphism in the walrus mandible: comparative description and geometric morphometrics

The modern walrus Odobenus rosmarus is characterized by marked sexual dimorphism, related to its polygynous behavior and the aggressive competition between males during the breeding season. Previous studies treated skeletal sexual dimorphism in walruses either qualitatively or with basic quantitativ...
