Sexual dimorphism of invasive knifefish (Chitala ornata) in Laguna de bay, Philippines
Chitala ornata (J.E. Gray) (Osteoglossiformes: Notopteridae) has since established abundant and nuisance populations in Laguna de Bay. A fundamental prerequisite for the development of management strategies for invasive species like C. ornata is a full understanding of its life history characteristics including sexual dimorphism. In the present study, we examined the sexual dimorphism of C. ornata. Sexes of C. ornata can be distinguished through the examination of its genital papilla wherein females show distinct morphological adaptions for effective oviposition on a spawning substrate. Comparison of means and multivariate analysis of several morphometric characters showed that sexual size dimorphism in C. ornata is female-biased which is mainly attributed to the disparity of resource expenditure between sexes for reproduction and size-dependent advantages of females in the production of more progenies with better chances of survival.
期刊介绍：
The Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology (Print ISSN: 1908-6865; Online ISSN: 2508-0342) is an annual, peer-reviewed journal in English that publishes high quality reports of original research and reviews in the field of Taxonomy & Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology. The PJSB is a CHED recognized journal under CHED CMO 50 series of 2017. It is also included in the Clavariate Analysis (formerly a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters) Master Journal List under Zoological Record, BIOSIS Previews and Biological Abstracts.The PJSB is the official publication of the Association of Systematic Biologists of the Philippines (SEC Registration: Association of Philippine Taxonomists, Inc.). The organization financially supports the journal and all its endeavors. The journal aims to build up quality information on animal, plant and microbial diversity in the Philippines. Articles dealing with original research or reviews in Zoological, Botanical or Microbial Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology are welcome. Authors are advised to consult a recent issue of PJSB for the current format and style. All manuscripts are reviewed by at least two qualified referees.
