Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Sexual Dimorphism in the Bill of the White Stork (<i>Ciconia ciconia</i>)

Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Sexual Dimorphism in the Bill of the White Stork (<i>Ciconia ciconia</i>)

Sexual dimorphism in bill morphology influences foraging strategies and bird competitive interactions. This study uses geometric morphometric analyses to examine sex-based differences in the bill shape and size of <i>Ciconia ciconia</i>, a large wading bird. Standardized dorsal and later...
