Beetles living in anthropogenic situations may evolve similar sizes in their physical characteristics, which can lead to systematic discrepancy. This study examined how synanthropic beetles' morphometric characteristics varied within and between species. The present investigation collected 149 individual beetles from 18 families, and 11 morphological parameters were measured. Adonis and Similarity Percentage (SIMPER) analyses were performed after an NMDS (non-metric multidimensional scaling) plot was created to evaluate the similarities between various groups. The length of the body, elytra, antennae, and pronotum width were the most distinctive characteristics among beetles, which all share similar shorter character attributes. This work provides insights into the morphometrics of synanthropic beetle species in Mindanao, Philippines. The findings not only corroborate prior studies but also emphasize how the environment may influences the size and adaptability of beetles. http://www.iaees.org/publications/journals/piaees/articles/2024-14(2)/phenetic-relationships.pdf
