Abstract

We have confirmed 19 new dwarf members in five nearby (z ≤ 0.014) groups of galaxies, measured their photometric characteristics and compared the photometric scaling relations of the late-type dwarf galaxies in the field, group and cluster environments. We found no clear evidence for the structure-environment relations but some hints for the colour-environment dependencies.
