Abstract
The study was conducted to determine the extent of geographic variation of Cynopterus brachyotis populations in selected Philippine islands. Eight morphological variables were considered. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Analysis Systems (SAS) package Discriminant and Stepwise Procedures. Preliminary results showed large overlaps between populations and low coefficient of determination (R2) with regards to the populations and skull variables. Pairwise Stepwise regression revealed that the large overlaps and low R2 were due to the mosaic characteristic of variation between insular populations.
