Identifying and Recording Key Morphological (Nonmetric) Crown and Root Traits
In biology, morphology refers to structure and form. For teeth, morphology means different things to dentists and dental anthropologists. Carlsen (1987) wrote a book called Dental Morphology that focused on the structure of the four types of teeth in the upper and lower jaws. Each tooth was broken down into its constituent parts, such as lobes, lobe segments, essential and accessory ridges, cus...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Cranial Metric and Nonmetric Traits in the Rhesus Macaques From Cay0 Santiago
This study addresses the relationship between cranial metric variables and nonmetric traits using the skeletal sample of rhesus macaques from Cay0 Santiago. Discriminant function analysis is used to study the metric differences between macaque crania grouped according to the presence or absence of nine nonmetric traits. The computation of total structure coefficients from the discriminant funct...
متن کاملMorphological variation of major human populations based on nonmetric dental traits.
The patterns of inter- and intra-regional variation among 12 major geographical groups from around the world were investigated based on 15 nonmetric dental traits. The R-matrix method was applied using a pooled within-group variance-covariance matrix estimated with the maximum likelihood method (tetrachoric correlation matrix) and the threshold value for each trait estimated by univariate probi...
متن کاملQuantitative genetics of cranial nonmetric traits in randombred mice: heritability and etiology.
Cheverud and Buikstra (1981) demonstrated a tendency for nonmetric traits representing the number of foramina to have lower heritabilities than those representing hyperstotic or hypostotic traits in a sample of rhesus macaques. Based on this observation, Cheverud and Buikstra hypothesize that differences in the heritability of the two sets of traits may be due to differences in trait etiology. ...
متن کاملBrief communication: cranial nonmetric trait database on the internet.
This brief note announces the publication of a nonmetric cranial trait database as a freely available resource on the Internet at: http://library.queensu.ca/webdoc/ssdc/cntd. The files were constructed in the program Excel, and are available also in comma-delimited format. These one-observer data on 38 traits were recorded in 1963-2003 in skeletal collections curated at many museums. The 8,016 ...
