Аннотация:The evaluation of quantitative traits variability of forewings in P. dominula males with different reproductive strategies is preliminary shown.
Spatial-temporal activity of P. dominula males was studied in the Black Sea Biosphere Reserve (Kherson region, Ukraine) in July-August of 2008. There were identified both territorial and migrant males. To examine the relationship between males reproductive behavior and their front wings morphological parameters the standard statistical techniques and method of geometric morphometric were used. Comparison showed that wings of migrants were relatively greater in the distal part than wings of territorial males. Thus preliminary results confirm the tendency of P. dominula males differentiation related to the specifics of their reproductive strategies in the south of Ukraine population.
