description	The Mexican northeaster region is one of the most important ecological regions of the country, given its biodiversity. This biodiversity has favoured the hunting utilization of the wild species, one of this wildlife, the texano white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus texanus) is considered to be the major hunting utilization animal. The objective of this study was to determine the morphometric variability of the texano white-tailed deer antler in the northeaster region of Mexico. There were obtained 1154 records of antlers of animals hunted and registered before the Asociación Nacional de Ganaderos Diversificados Criadores de Fauna (ANGADI) from 269 Animal Mangement Units (UMA) in 13 counties of the Nuevo León, Tamaulipas and Coahuila states. The ANGADI provided the antlers records that were based on the international Boone and Crocket system of measurement and modified by ANGADI. Initially and, to reduce the complexity of the system, there was realized an analysis of Principal Components. Due to the fact that the normality of the selected factors was not accepted (Kolmogorov- Smirnov’s Test with Lilliefors’s correction), the comparison of the distributions was realized by means of the no parametric test of Kruskall-Wallis or Mann-Whitney. The results indicated (two-tailed test) a marked effect of suplementación (Z = -4,678; P < 0,0001) and year (H4 = 43,301; P < 0,001) on total score and number of points of the antlers. Similarly, significant differences (H2 = 2.03; P < 0,0001) were found for the length of first point or defense among the eight points (4.01 ± 1,3 in, n = 202), typical (3,96 ± 1,3 in, n = 815) and atypical (4,63 ± 1,6 in, n = 85) deer. It was concluded that the environment has a significant effect on the morphometric variability of the antlers of the texanus white-tailed deer (O.v. texanus) in the northeast region of Mexico.

It was concluded that the environment has a significant effect on the morphometric variability of the antlers of the texanus white-tailed deer (O.v. texanus) in the northeast region of Mexico. El noreste mexicano es una de las regiones ecológicas más importantes del país, debido a su gran biodiversidad, la cual ha favorecido que se desarrolle el aprovechamiento cinegético de diversas especies silvestres, de las cuales el venado cola blanca texano (Odocoileus virginianus texanus) es la de mayor demanda cinegética, por sus características fenotípicas de sus astas. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la variabilidad morfométrica de las astas del venado cola blanca texano (O.v. texanus) en la región noreste de México. Se obtuvieron 1154 registros de astas de animales cazados y registrados ante la Asociación Nacional de Ganaderos Diversificados Criadores de Fauna (ANGADI) provenientes de 269 Unidades de Manejo para la Conservación de la Vida Silvestre (UMAS) en 13 municipios de los estados de Nuevo León, Tamaulipas y Coahuila. Se consideraron las variables de medición de astas del sistema internacional de medición Boone & Crocket modificado por ANGADI. Inicialmente y, para reducir la complejidad del sistema, se realizó un análisis de Componentes Principales. Debido a que la normalidad de los factores seleccionados no fue aceptada (Test de Kolmo- gorov-Smirnov con corrección de Lilliefors), la comparación de las distribuciones se realizó mediante la prueba no paramétrica de Kruskall-Wallis o Mann-Whitney. Los resultados obtenidos (bilaterales) indican un efecto de suplementación (Z = -4,678; P < 0,0001) y año (H4 = 43,301; P < 0,001) sobre la puntuación total y número de puntas de las astas. De igual forma, se encontraron diferencias (H2 = 2.03; P < 0,0001) en la longitud de la primera punta o defensa entre los venados de ocho puntas (4.01 ± 1,3 in, n = 202), típicos (3,96 ± 1,3 in, n = 815) y atípicos (4,63 ± 1,6 in, n = 85). Concluyéndose que el medio ambiente tiene un efecto significativo sobre la variabilidad morfométricas de las astas de venado cola blanca texanus (O.v. texanus) en la región noreste de México.
