Abstract
Forty one jaguar skulls from Colombia were measured for 46 quantitativemorphometric variables. We detected no differences between two supposed subspecies ofjaguars or their gender. However, size was more important in determining individualdifferences than shape. Therefore, morphometric data seem to be less powerful indetecting differences among different gene pools than DNA microsatellites or othermolecular markers.
