Mating Order Establishes Male Size Advantage in the Polygynandrous Millipede Centrobolus inscriptus Attems, 1928 | Chapter 7 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol.9

The size assortative mating of a forest species of millipede belonging to the Order Spirobolida found along the eastern coast of southern Africa was investigated. The goals are to test for size benefits in mating by controlling for SSD in multiple mating. The duration of the first mating was positively related to male length (rs=0.30,…

Length and Width Correlations in Centrobolus Cook, 1897| Chapter 6 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol.9

The size correlations of a forest genus of diplopods belonging to the order Spirobolida found along the eastern coast of southern Africa were investigated. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient Calculator was used to assess for correlations between four morphometric parameters for male and female lengths (mm) and widths (mm) collected from literature. In a study of…
