Dimorphism of both head and prothoracic horn morphologies in male Copris acutidens (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea)

Allometric scaling of male horn morphologies of Copris acutidens, including the head and prothoracic horns, was analyzed. The analyses of scaling relationships indicated a discontinuous increase in head horn length and prothoracic horn height but a linear increase in prothoracic horn length relative...
