Biometric and sexual dimorphism variation of <em>Hydromedusa tectifera</em> in Brazil
Basic and Applied Herpetology, 2020 Body size has a strong influence on the ecology and evolution of organisms’ life history. Turtle species can exhibit variation in body size and shape between populations of conspecifics through usually broad geographical scales. This prediction is timely to be tested in this study with the species Hydromedusa tectifera.
