Sexual size dimorphism in Black-Browed Albatross (Diomedea melanophris) incidentally killed during longline operations
Black-Browed Albatross (Diomedea melanophris) displays little sexual dimorphism and although males are usually larger than females, sexing birds by direct observation is difficult. We evaluated sexual size dimorphism in this species and provided a reliable method to predict the sex of measured birds...

We evaluated sexual size dimorphism in this species and provided a reliable method to predict the sex of measured birds. Discriminant Analysis of six morphometric measurements of adult birds indicated that only three variables (bill depth, head width and nape) were the most accurate variables to use in a discriminant function model, predicting sex with 87% of reliability. El Albatros Ceja Negra (Diomedea melanophris) muestra un escaso dimorfismo sexual y aunque generalmente los machos son más grandes que las hembras el sexado por observación directa puede ser difícil. Se evaluó el dimorfismo sexual del tamaño corporal en esta especie con un método confiable para predecir el sexo a partir de mediciones de las aves. El Análisis Discriminante aplicado a seis caracteres morfométricos tomados en individuos adultos indicó que solo tres de las variables (ancho del pico, ancho de la cabeza y la nuca) son las más precisas para utilizar en una función discriminante, prediciendo el sexo con un 87% de exactitud.
