Preliminary data on the structural relationship in two lacertid species of the genus Gallotia (Reptilia: Lacertidae) based on the skeleton

In this paper we present the regression analysis between SVL and eight osteological variables in G. atlantica and G. galloti. Positive signigficant relationships can be observed among them, although coefficient of determination (R2) indicate better fits in the case of G. galloti than G. atlantica. F...

Sumario:In this paper we present the regression analysis between SVL and eight osteological variables in G. atlantica and G. galloti. Positive signigficant relationships can be observed among them, although coefficient of determination (R2) indicate better fits in the case of G. galloti than G. atlantica. Futhermore, preliminary data on the weiht-lenght relationships are shown. The proposed models can be used in predator vertebrate alimentary studies that include lizards size selection of both mentioned species and also in paleontological surveys.
