In both samples, mature specimens show a distinct sexual dimorphism for the dimensions of many characters, but the parameters representing the form ratio are not different between the sexes. The size difference between the mature specimens from the Tañon and Fiji areas is much larger than that between the sexes in the single sample. Namely, mature animals from the former are generally heavier and larger than those from the latter. This fact suggests a fairly wide geographic variation in this species.}, pages = {9--21}, title = {Morphologic Variation of Nautilus pompilius from the Philippines and Fiji Islands}, volume = {1}, year = {} }
