Dear All! Thank you very much for all the advice and for the paper! I am really happy the morphmet community works, thanks to Dennis as well! Greetings!

I hope you can help me! The thing is that I would like to compare mandibles of five populations of two different mammal species. The problem is I also have sexual dimorphism both in shape and size and small samples. Therefore I was thinking if I could somehow eliminate the part of variation that is the effect of gender and in subsequent analysis of phylogeny use pooled sexes. I know how to get the 'allometry-free' shape data and do the test for common slopes. But what about sexual dimorphism? Is it possible? Thank you in advance!
