Sexual size dimorphism of Salamandridae and its correlates with life history factors
ŠIMROVÁ, Lenka
Amphibians are important and interesting group of animals. Salamandridae are wellknown group of caudate amphibians. In this group we find sexual size dimorphism in three forms: bigger female than male, bigger male than female, and no difference in size. This fact was the impetus for my bachelor thesis, which deals with sexual size dimorphism for this family. The aim of this work was to determine to what forms of sexual dimorphism of size are different types and how it can be related to other selected factors. For this group of amphibians is true that more than half of the individuals are bigger female than male, a quarter of individuals is no sexual size dimorphism and the rest no individuals are bigger male than female. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between sexual size dimorphism and sexual courtship and amplexus.
