Abstract

To evaluate an effect of migration to some anthropological traits ù biacromial and bicristal diameters, we compared migrant Montenegrins at Vrbas aged 7-18 with the native children same age at Vrbas (Vojvodina) and Nikšić (Montenegro). The two places differ in geological, hidrographical meteoro-climatic characteristics, plant cover and culturo-historical development. Our results affirmed considerable role of the environmental factor in quantitative morphological trait's development, because the average biacromial and bicristal diameters of the migrant Montenegrins were found to be greater than in the natives in Nikšić. The indices ù biacromial bicristal and acromioiliac show that the migrants in Vojvodina vs. the natives in Montenegro became more robust but the body shape hasn't changed in the new environment. Our study has noted some less among group anthropometric variation for the girls. Such differences confirm other findings that males are more influenced by developmental and environmental effect than females.
