MOMENTS OF INERTIA LINK TO MALE SIZE IN RED MILLIPEDES CENTROBOLUS COOK, 1897
(IJESIRD INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL, 2022-09)Abstract-The interdependence of moments of inertia on male size is estimated in red millipedes Centrobolus Cook, 1897. Moments of inertia were positively related to male size (r=0.85, Z score=3.32, n=10, p<0.01). Male ... -
Predicted abundances for calculated and controlled sexual size Dimorphism at distant latitudes and longitudes in red millipedes Centrobolus cook, 1897
(IJESIRD (International Journal of Engineering Science Invention Research & Development), 2022-10)Abstract- Solutions in the form of simultaneous equations are given for precited abundances (z) from calculated sexual size dimorphism (SSD) (x) across latitude and longitude in red millipedes Centrobolus. The solution ... -
