In this study we compare Mediterranean stocks of Delphinus
delphis (L., 1758) with other populations of the same species coming from
different seas using a geometric morphometrics method. The aim is to
define the patterns of geographical variation of Delphinus delphis through a
geometric morphometrics analysis of the skulls of 124 individuals from seven
marine areas (West and East Pacific Ocean; North-east and South-East
Atlantic Ocean, West and East Indian Ocean, Mediterranenan Sea).
