On the other hand a strong genetic relation can be seen among the populations, which is reflected in the common centre. The populations of Talpa romána are distributed along a common regression line, but with different centroids, which is caused by genetic isolation of the populations of common origin. 2.42. According to the results of regression analysis there is a strong correlation (P = 0,1 4) between maximal diameter of maxillar M. and rostral width, in the case of all the four Talpa romána populations. Equation of common regression line. у = 0,136 + 0,305x Equation of the regression line of Talpa romána ehiki у = 0,63 + 0,305x This latter refers to correlation at 5 % level of significance. 2.43. The coordinates of the centroids of Talpa romána populations in Figure 8 can be substituted for geographical location and climate goodness. 146
