The phenomenon of phenotypically similar populations in disparate geographic areas is well known (Mayr 1975). Static allometric coefficients As MGPC-1 accounts primarily for variation in size, its loading reflecting average size-related changes among the samples, mean static allometric coefficients likewise indicate the manner in which different measurements change in relation to overall body size. The allometry values for each of the 14 cranial variables are given in Tab. 3. We used these allometric coefficients to explore components of genetic programs that may underly morphological trait expression and may rule individual growth tra- jectories within populations or population groups (= subspecies). To address these questions, the static allometric coefficients were used as variables in a discriminant analysis with a priori allocation of individuals to the three presumed subspecies. As a result, each population sample could be distinguished by a unique set of character allometries and their allocation to certain subspecies was with absolute a posteriori certainty. However, plotting the first two canonical variables against each other, we found three groupings (Fig. 8). Midway lie most agrarius populations, flanked by the.
