Sexual dimorphism and determination of sex by morphometrics in Blue-fronted Amazons (Amazona aestiva)
On current knowledge, it has not been possible to determine the sex of Blue-fronted Amazons (Amazona aestiva) in the hand, as males and females were thought not to differ in the colour of plumage or size. We used discriminant function analysis to develop equations for determining the sex of Blue-fronted Amazons using in-hand measurements. We took sevenmeasurements of size and onemeasure of plum...
متن کاملSexing of mandible using ramus and condyle in Indian population: a discriminant function analysis
The mandible is the strongest bone of the skull, and it is commonly utilized in forensic anthropology for determination of sex from skeletal remains. It has been extensively studied by both metric and non-metric methods, but for this purpose an intact mandible is often required. This study was conducted in Indian population using discriminant function analysis to calculate the accuracy of two p...
متن کاملSex Assessment Using the Femur and Tibia in Medieval Skeletal Remains from Ireland: Discriminant Function Analysis.
Sex determination based on discriminant function analysis of skeletal measurements is probably the most effective method for assessment of sex in archaeological and contemporary populations due to various reasons, but it also suffers from limitations such as population specificity. In this paper standards for sex assessment from the femur and tibia in the medieval Irish population are presented...
متن کاملSexing in guinea fowls (Numida meleagris).
Despite the potentials and contributions of guinea fowls to economic and social life in Ghana, accurate sex identification in these birds is still a major problem. Three hundred and sixty guinea fowls (180 birds per sex) were used in determining a more accurate and farmer friendly sexing technique. The sexing methods explored were vent, biometric, and molecular techniques. Vent sexing was accom...
