Ian,
The command summary(manova(..)) will perform a parametric manova. However,
for the datafile you sent, that operation will not be possible because the
number of variables relative to sample size (note, you posted a similar
issue about a month ago to Morphmet).
The alternative is to use

Sexual dimorphism is the difference between males and females, so one
can quantify this as the difference between average phenotypes for each
sex. This literally is a vector in shape space connecting the mean male
and mean female shapes. The length of this vector describes how much
