A geometric morphometric analysis of hominin upper first molar shape

A geometric morphometric analysis of hominin upper premolars. Shape variation and morphological integration.

This paper continues the series of articles initiated in 2006 that analyse hominin dental crown morphology by means of geometric morphometric techniques. The detailed study of both upper premolar occlusal morphologies in a comprehensive sample of hominin fossils, including those coming from the Gran Dolina-TD6 and Sima de los Huesos sites from Atapuerca, Spain, complement previous works on lowe...

The Qesem Cave hominin material (part 1): A morphometric analysis of the mandibular premolars and molar

The Mid-Pleistocene Qesem Cave near Tel Aviv in Israel yielded several hominin teeth and abundant faunal and cultural remains. The geological sequences of the cave were dated to 420,000e200,000 years ago. In this contribution, we focus on the three lower postcanine teeth which are among the oldest material from the cave. We used both Geometric Morphometrics and qualitative observations on the o...

Mandibular Shape in Myostatin-deficient Mice: a Geometric Morphometric Analysis

geometric morphometric analysis of the second upper molar of the genus apodemus (muridae: rodentia) in northern iran

wood mice of the genus apodemus are widespread in temperate areas of the palaearctic region. dental shape variation and morphological differences among three species of apodemus (a. witherbyi, a. hyrcanicus, a. uralensis) were investigated using outline-based geometric morphometrics of the second upper molar (m2/) and a morphological study of 92 museum specimens belonging to five populations of...

A Comparative Study on Body Shape of the Genus Alburnus (Rafinesque, 1820) in Iran, Using Geometric Morphometric Analysis

Geometric morphometric method was used to examine body shape variations among all the seven valid species of the genus Alburnus in Iran. In total 409 specimens of A. chalcoides, A. filippii, A. atropatenae, A. caeruleus, A. mossulensis, A. hohenackeri and A. zagrosensis were collected from Babolrud, Baleqlu-Chai, Miriseh, Sarabeleh, Gamasiyab, Mahabad-Chai Rivers and the Gandoman lagoon, respec...
