Abstract
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 to the simultaneous equation
(LATITUDE-SSD-ABUNDANCE SIMULTANEOUS
EQUATION) was x=12.6+0.35y-0.35z. The solution to the
simultaneous equation (LONGITUDE-SSD-ABUNDANCE
SIMULTANEOUS EQUATION) was x=-0.31z-7.31+0.33w. This
generated a further simultaneous equation
-0.43z+14.9+0.43y=-0.16w-2.87+0.16x which was solved as
y=0.08z-56.2+0.92w where the x was the SSD and w, y, and z were
longitude, latitude, and the abundance, respectively. When the
northern-most, southern-most, eastern-most and western-most
species GPS co-ordinates were substituted into these equations
the expected abundances were 72.9 (C. immaculatus), 47.3 (C.
dubius), and 65.8 (C. promontorius); when SSD was explained. The
expected abundances were a similar order of magnitude for
different species in this genus. Predicted abundances were
marginally related to female moments of inertia across four
species (r=-0.82, Z score=-1.63, n=5, p=0.05).
