COMPARATIVE QUANTITATIVE GENETIC STUDY BETWEEN THE GENUS CHRYSOMYA AND THE GENUS CALLIPHPORA (DIPTERA: CALLIPHORIDAE) USING GEOMETRIC MORPHOMETRIC OF WING

This research aimed to study the quantitative genetic comparison among the females of two species the genus Chrysomya: Chrysomya megacephala and Chrysomya albecips and one species of the genus Calliphora which is vomitoria, buy using the geometric morphometric of wing shape and size, To detect the quantitative genetic variants between these species of the two genus, The average centroid size of the right wing of females was 2291.57, 2045.90 microns for the species of Ch. megacephala and Ch. albecipsrespectively, But in the females of the species Ca. vomitoria  the average centroid size was 3001.16 micron.The results showed that there were significant differences with very little statistical significance in the average centroid size of the right wing between female species Ch. megacephala and Ch. albecips.Whereas, significant differences were observed, with a very large statistical indication, in the average centroid size of the right wing between females of the species Ch. megacephala and females of species Ca. vomitoria on the one hand and females of species Ch. albecips and females of species Ca. vomitoria on the other hand. The results also showed significant differences with slight statistical indication in the asymmetry of the shape and size of the right wing of the female species Ch. megacephala and Ch. albecips.Whereas, significant differences were observed statistically significant in the asymmetry of the shape and size of the right wing of the females of the species Ch. megacephala and the species Ca. vomitoria on the one hand and the females of the species Ch. albecips and the females of the species Ca. vomitoria on the other hand.
