A morphometric exploration of the taxonomic utility of scale osteoderms in southern African fossorial skinks (Acontinae, Acontias)
This study investigates the morphometric variation of osteoderms across species and populations within the genus Acontias, especially in the A. meleagris species complex. Using both univariate and multivariate analyses, we evaluated whether size-independent osteoderm morphometrics could effectively...
