Sažetak
Hind wing shape variation was examined in 686 adult Diabrotica virgifera virgifera collected from maize plants in Europe and the USA Corn Belt, using geometric morphometric techniques. Sexual dimorphism at an Intercontinental scale was assessed using canonical variates analysis, a multivariate statistical method used to find the shape characters that best distinguish among groups of specimens. Our results showed that each of the populations of D. v. virgifera investigated in this study showed high levels of sex based hind wing shape dimorphism. In particular a stronger and more obvious pattern of hind wing shape variation was found in the USA than in Europe. These results support previous studies on D. v. virgifera wing shape that show that female D. v. virgifera have more elongated wings than males. These differences raise the question of whether sexual dimorphism may be modulated by natural selection.
