Geographic variation of metric properties within the neotropical sandflies.

Abstract excerpt

Traditional morphometrics remains a useful tool for differentiating sandflies species, particularly closely related taxa. Within a single species, however, size variation among geographic populations might interfere with species distinction. In the past decades, a search for a metric property less prone to individual variations led to the use of ratios, and more recently to the use of size-free variables (after...
