Classical morphometrics based on a three\u2010way ANOVA framework identified body size and sex as the primary drivers of shape variation, particularly influencing surface area\u2010, depth\u2010 and angular traits, whereas geographic effects were more limited and context dependent. GMM analyses supported these patterns. Procrustes ANOVA detected significant shape effects of size, sex and site, and CVA revealed clear multivariate separation among groups, with Mahalanobis distances of 3.28\u20135.49 among sex groups and Procrustes distances of 0.032\u20130.049. Geographic divergence was also evident in GMM space, with Procrustes distances of 0.033\u20130.036 between sites. Allometry analyses indicated heterogeneous allometric trajectories for size and sex but not for site. Mitochondrial DNA analyses revealed moderate genetic differentiation between regions, and Mantel tests detected a weak but significant association between genetic and morphological distances.
