Elliptic Fourier analysis of plastral pigmentation patterns in two populations of Western Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni hermanni)

Testudo hermanni) is widely distributed in western and southern Europe. As reptiles exhibit strong geographical variation in most morphological, as well as life history traits, gathering data from distant areas is important. Here we used Elliptic Fourier analysis to investigate variation in pigmenta...
