Popis:	We evaluated Ictidomys tridecemlineatus for sexual dimorphism by taking 40 skeletal measurements from 267 specimens from Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. We compared measurements from males and females using discriminant-function analysis with included analyses of variance. Males and females were significantly different overall. Of the nine characters that were significantly different, eight were larger in males, while females had a greater sacrum width.
