Abstract

Desert rabbits are widely distributed in the world and have adapted to various weather conditions. Different environmental conditions and diet are two important factors in creating diversity in the family of rabbits. Various studies have shown that skulls are the only skeletal components in different environmental conditions to investigate species morphometric changes. Therefore, in this article the investigate morphometric variation was limited only to the rabbit’ s skull. The aim of this study was to investigate morphological diversity and grouping of morphometric traits measured in 50 rabbit’ s skull samples, in six western provinces of Iran with a random sampling. Totally, 40 morphometric traits were measured. Grouping the measured traits were carried out by the SPSS, Ward method, CA and CVA with PAST. Furthermore, we used Pearson correlation to study the correlations between measured traits at the level of 99%. Fitting dendrogram divided species into three groups (A, B, C) from a fifteen fitting the Euclidean distance. Therefore, from a ten fitting the Euclidean distance divided the studied species into four distinct groups (A, B, C1, C2) based on morphological traits. Group (A) consists of East Azerbaijan species and Western Azerbaijan species, group (B) consists of Kurdistan species which has the highest value measured between morphometric traits. Third group (C) from a ten continue fitting the Euclidean distance is divided into two sub-group C1 (Kermanshah) and C2 (Znjan and Hamedan). CVA test shows Kurdistan population difference is more than another one. Also, the population of Kermanshah, Zanjan, Hamedan, East Azerbaijan and Western Azerbaijan put on the first main axis.
