Quantifying Shrinkage of Morphometric Measurements: Museum Specimen Versus Livetrapping Specimen of Bulbul (Family: Pycnonotidae)

Bulbul (Family: Pycnonotidae) are monomorphic birds. Frequently morphometric study was conducted by using museum dry specimen of bulbuls. As body measurement of museum specimen tend to shrink, it is unwise to ignore it. This study was design to compare whether there are significant different in shr...
