چکیده
نسبت طول انگشتان طی دوران تکوین جنینی سازماندهی شده و ممکن است با قرار گرفتن در معرض هورمون‌های استروئیدی جنسی درجات مختلفی از دو­شکلی جنسی بین افراد نر و ماده در گروه‌های مختلف جانوری نشان بدهند. بین تمامی انگشتان یک فرد، نسبت بین انگشتان دوم به چهارم (2D:4D) بیشترین اهمیت را داراست. در این مطالعه، نسبت طول انگشتان دوم تا چهارم در هر دو سمت راست و چپ بدن در اندامهای جلویی (دست‌ها) و عقبی (پاها) بدن در 44 نمونه (شامل 20 نر و 24 ماده) از مارمولک‌های گونه blanfordiAcanthodactylus جهت تعیین وجود دو­شکلی جنسی در نسبت بین انگشتان نمونه­ها مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. در این مطالعه همچنین دو­شکلی جنسی نمونه‌ها از لحاظ دیگر صفات مورفولوژیک (23 صفت متریک و مریستیک) مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. دو­شکلی جنسی در پنج صفت مورفولوژیک متریک و مریستیک مشاهده شد. اما از لحاظ نسبت اندازه انگشتان دست و پا، دو­شکلی جنسی در اندازه طول انگشتان صرفاً در 2D:4D در سمت راست بدن در هر دوی اندام‌های حرکتی جلویی و عقبی مشاهده گردید. به­طوری­که، اندازه این صفت در نرها بیشتر از ماده‌ها بوده و این اختلاف نیز از لحاظ آماری معنی دار بود (P≤0.05).

چکیده English

Finger length ratios are organized during embryonic development of fingers as they exposed to sex steroid hormones, and may show varying degrees of sexual dimorphism between males and females in different animal groups. Among all the finger length ratios calculated in a sample, the ratio between the second to fourth fingers (2D: 4D) is the most important one. In this study, the 2D:4D ratios in both sides of the body (right and left) in all limbs were investigated to determine if sexual dimorphism is present in the 2D: 4D ratios in 44 specimens studied (20 males and 24 females) of Acanthodactylus blanfordi. Other morphological traits of the two sexes were also examined (23 metric and meristic traits), as a result, sexual dimorphism was observed in five metric and meristic morphological traits. In terms of the ratio of the size of the fingers and toes, sexual dimorphism in the length of the fingers was observed only in 2D: 4D on the right side of the body in forelimbs and hindlimbs. The value of this trait was higher in males than females and this difference was statistically significant P ≤0.05).
