Previous studies involving the scapula of the dugong reported a hallmark for sex identification by scapular morphology using the caudal border tubercle and coracoid process at 91.30% and 96.15% ...
May 16, 2017 · The results of this study showed that skull morphology and morphometric measurements could be used as a tool for sex identification, location identification and estimation of body length, but scapular morphology is the best tool forsex identification in dugongs. The dugong (Dugong dugon, Müller) is an endangered marine mammal species. We examined the relationship between sex, habitat and body ...

Nov 9, 2020 · A dugong was categorized as mature when the body length was over 2250 mm and a dugong was categorized as immature when the body length was measured at 2250 mm or lower. These categorizations were based on published data from northern Australia which established that minimum length of mature dugongs of either sex can range from 2200 to 2500 mm 23.

Skull/scapula and sex identification. In other species (e.g. human, canine and leopard) the skull can be used for sex identification, either from reference hallmarks or a morphometric equation 8, 28–30. In this study we showed that sexual dimorphisms can clearly separate males and females by using large permanent tusk morphology, scapular ...

Feb 13, 2021 · The dugong (Dugong dugon, Müller) is an endangered marine mammal species. We examined the relationship between sex, habitat and body length based on the skull and scapular morphology and morphometrics of 81 dugong samples in Thailand. A total of 58 parameters from the skull and scapula (25 from the cranium, 23 from the mandible and 10 from the scapula) as well as tusks were used in this study ...
