Resumen:
Sexual dimorphism id analysed in skulls of the culpeo fox, Pseudalopex culpaeus, through multivariate and univariate approaches. The species shows a moderate level of sexual dimorphism with most cranial variables being, on average, 5% larger in males. Equations are obtained for inferring the sex of skulls of juvenile, subadult and adult culpeo foxes.
