Relative Warp Analysis of the Pronotum Shape Variability among Twelve Selected Populations of the Coconut Leaf Beetle, Brontispa longissima Found in the Mindanao Island
Abstract:Abstract-The aim of the study was to determine the pronotum shape variability of the coconut leaf beetle, Brontispa longissima and to identify the shape discontinuity using relative warp analysis. Samples were taken from twelve sampling site under eight provinces in Mindanao. Using the results from the relative warp analysis, histograms, CVA and box plot were generated to visualize variation distribution. Cluster analysis was used to determine the degree of variation between pronotum shape and within populatio… Show more
