Abstract
Despite the contention by Boonstra et al. (1993; see 93L/11825) that body mass is a more sensitive metric for detecting dimorphism, some vole populations show statistically significant dimorphism for length, but not mass. Published studies based on length and mass corroborate many conclusions based on length only (Heske & Ostfeld, 1990; 91L/09147), and are in opposition to the results of Boonstra et al. based on mass. -from Authors
