Allometry in Centrobolus

Abstract

Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) was investigated in the forest genus Centrobolus of millipedes belonging to the Order Spirobolida distributed along the eastern coast of southern Africa. The specific status of 21 Centrobolus (Table 1) were categorised using size measurements based on width and length data. I suggest width is the primary factor and length secondary in achieving larger size differences.
