Abstract
Dispersion analysis of variances (MANOVA) is shown to be of use in com parative analysis of different forms of morphological diversity expres sed in measurable traits. This approach is exemplified by analysis of subgeneric, species, subspecies, sex, and individual forms of MD in ro dent genera Allactaga, Alticola, and Spalax. Some conditions and limit ations of the approach are discussed.
