The scapula of the dugong is flat with a triangular shape, slightly curved inward toward the medial surface. This study found two significant hallmarks on the scapula that could be used as a tool for sex identification in dugongs (Fig. 6). The first was on the caudal boarder of the scapula: males presented a caudal border tuberosity, which was ...

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 · Our study used 6 parameters of the pelvic bone to achieve the highest rate of accuracy for sex identification at up to 92.10%. A previous study involving other bones of the dugong reported an accuracy rate of up to 96.7% for the skull, 81.8% for the cranium, 78.4% for the mandible, and 68.1% for the scapula 19.

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 ...
