Sexual Dimorphism in the Tooth-Crown Diameters
Mesiodistal and buccolingual crown dimensions of the right deciduous teeth of 133 white children were analyzed for information on sexual dimorphism and sex discrimination using discriminant analysis. Even though consistent differences were found for only 15 out of 20 paired measurements, five of them significant a t p = 0.05 or better, discriminant analysis showed the possibility of correctly s...
متن کاملGender Determination by Linear Dimension of Permanent Canine: An Odontometric Analysis
Background and objectives: Identification, an aspect of forensic anthropology, is the recognition of an individual based on the physical characteristics unique to the individual. Among the four main attributes i.e. gender, age, stature and ethnic or racial background of an individual’s biological identity, sex determination is usually the first step in the human identification process. Teeth ca...
متن کاملSexual dimorphism of Eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859) in Gamasiab River, Kermanshah province
Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859 is considered as one of the non-native and invasive species in the inland waters of Iran. This species occurs in most inland basins and aquatic bodies of Iran and has even been found in brackish waters. Extensive adaptations of this species to its different habitats caused numerous changes in its biological characteristics and morphological traits. The present st...
متن کاملReduced Skull Sexual Dimorphism in a Local Sheep Breed
This study estimated the magnitude of sexual dimorphism in a relict sheep from Catalunya (NE Spain), called Fardasca,using geometric morphometric techniques. For these analyses, a total of 18 skull specimens (2 adult males and 16 females) were studied. Our results suggest that the breed is not cranially dimorphic, so sex determination using landmarks described here as criteria is likely to yiel...
متن کاملSexual dimorphism in the mandible of indigenous South Africans: A geometric morphometric approach
Introduction Much of our understanding of modern human skeletal variation in southern Africa is derived from anthropological techniques based on the traditional linear metrical system. With specific reference to either the whole skull or its functional components, there is a long history of such research (e.g. refs 1–8). Recent research has also focused on using various skeletal elements to qua...
