性状与体型之间的关系,即比例关系或静态异速生长,是研究性状大小的基本概念。然而,使用不适当的体型指标可能会导致对形态的误解。在这项研究中,我们检查了两种密切相关的锹甲虫物种(Dorcusectus 和 Dorcus amamianus)的几个可能的体型指标。我们圈养动物,并使用蛹重量作为真实体型或总体体型的衡量标准,然后评估六种成年形态特征,以测试这些特征是否可以可靠地用作静态缩放关系比较中的体型指标。我们分析了两个比较,即同一物种的性别之间和同一性别的物种之间。我们表明,最合适的体型指标根据比较的不同而有所不同。我们的结果表明,根据使用的体型指标,焦点特征的尺度关系可能会被高估或低估。
The relationship between trait and body size, i.e., the scaling relationship or static allometry, is an essential concept for investigating trait size. However, usage of an inappropriate body size indicator can lead to misinterpretation of morphology. In this study, we examined several possible body size indicators in two closely related stag beetle species, Dorcus rectus and Dorcus amamianus. We raised animals in captivity and used pupal weight as a measure of true, or overall body size, and then evaluated six adult morphological traits to test whether these traits could be reliably used as body size indicators in static scaling relationship comparisons. We analyzed two comparisons, between sexes in same species and between species in same sex. We showed that the most appropriate body size indicators differ depending on the comparisons. Our results indicated that the scaling relationship of focal traits could be over- or under-estimated depending on which body size indicators are used.
