Sự khác biệt về tăng trưởng, kích thước và hình thái tình dục trong hộp sọ của gấu Bắc Cực East Greenland và Svalbard (Ursus maritimus)
Tóm tắt
Nghiên cứu kích thước, tăng trưởng và sự khác biệt tình dục của chín đặc điểm hộp sọ đã được thực hiện trên 300 cá thể gấu Bắc Cực East Greenland và 391 cá thể gấu Bắc Cực Svalbard (Ursus maritimus). Hai đặc điểm đã lớn hơn đáng kể ở gấu từ East Greenland so với gấu Svalbard, và kích thước đặc điểm nhỏ hơn sau năm 1960 ở năm đặc điểm. Đối với cả hai địa phương và cả hai nhóm tuổi (thú vị thành niên, trưởng thành), giá trị kích thước đặc điểm trung bình cao hơn ở con đực so với con cái (tất cả: P < 0.05). Mô hình tăng trưởng Gompertz cho thấy kích thước đặc điểm tăng theo tuổi ở bảy đặc điểm. Tùy thuộc vào đặc điểm, con đực đạt 95% kích thước đặc điểm tiệm cận ở tuổi từ 3-10, con cái ở tuổi từ 2-6. Những con cái ở cả hai địa phương đều trưởng thành ở độ tuổi tương tự, trong khi con đực Svalbard thường trưởng thành muộn hơn nhiều so với bạn đồng trang lứa ở East Greenland. Những khác biệt được phát hiện trong nghiên cứu hiện tại giữa hai quần thể gấu Bắc Cực hỗ trợ quan điểm rằng gấu Bắc Cực East Greenland và Svalbard nên được quản lý như các đơn vị riêng biệt.
