Geographic variation in Caluromys derbianus and Caluromys lanatus (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) [PDF]
We analyzed the geographic variations in the shape and size of the cranium and mandible of two woolly opossums, Caluromys derbianus and Caluromys lanatus. Using geometric morphometrics we analyzed 202 specimens of C.
