Abstract

En este trabajo se analiza la morfometría lineal de caracteres sexuales y no sexuales del escarabajo rinoceronte Strategus aloeus (L.). Nuestros resultados sugieren que tanto los caracteres sexuales como los no sexuales son diferentes entre hembras y machos, así como la relación entre estas dentro de cada sexo. Los resultados dan evidencia de que los machos son más grandes que las hembras, pero las hembras muestran el mesonoto más grande. Aún más, es posible que en los machos exista una compensación entre la tibia y el mesonoto. Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio permiten la formulación de nuevas preguntas en el estudio morfométrico de esta especie.
