Variation in parameter C, length of M,_,, in Crocidura flavescens from various sites. the mandible. This parameter has a much higher coefficient of variation (Table 33), presumably because it is affected by the age of the individual. It is therefore much more likely that differences between populations are due, at least in part, to changes in the composition of the population. In other words, if there were a higher proportion of young individuals the mean would be lower than if there were a higher proportion of older individuals. The fact that there is a tendency for the percentage of C. flavescens in the sample to be higher when mean depth of mandible is less (Fig. 21) may suggest a population explosion when the proportion of younger individuals was unusually high. On the other hand, the fact that changes are mirrored, albeit less obviously, in the.
