Sexual size dimorphism is one of the key evolutionary features that has been  studied in many organisms. On the other hand, sexual shape dimorphism has  not been examined as well despite being as important as size dimorphism.  Therefore, we analyzed the sexual size and shape dimorphism (SSSD) of  Salamandra salamandra from the territory of the central Balkans. In  addition, we wanted to reconsider if there is some regularity in the  geographical distribution of SSSD in the investigated area. Significant  differences in size and shape between the sexes were found for the whole  sample and among the analyzed groups. Females were larger than males and had  bigger heads, interlimb distances and a parotid gland, while males had  bigger tails, forelimbs, hindlimbs, and forefoot and hindfoot length. Our  results reveal a strong effect of locality on trait variation. This  variation from the general pattern of SSSD is not substantial but still has  to be considered
