SEXUAL SIZE DIMORPHISM IN STONE MARTEN (MARTES FOINA, ERXL. 1777) FROM SARNENA SREDNA GORA MTS (BULGARIA)

Sexual dimorphism in body size measurements of 65 stone martens was investigated in winter periods (10.12.- 01.03) 2013 to 2017. There was found sexual dimorphism in body size of Stone Marten from Central Bulgaria: males were larger than females. The tail length (with or without hairs) did not depen...

description Sexual dimorphism in body size measurements of 65 stone martens was investigated in winter periods (10.12.- 01.03) 2013 to 2017. There was found sexual dimorphism in body size of Stone Marten from Central Bulgaria: males were larger than females. The tail length (with or without hairs) did not depend on sex. The sexual dimorphism in the most variable linear parameters of the species varied from 2.76% to 10.63%. Male stone martens were 23.37% heavier than females.
