Metric variation and species recognition in the fossil record
One of the first and most important tasks of the paleontologist is classifying specimens into species. Species recognition commonly involves sorting specimens on the basis of qualitative and quantitative similarities and differences. Often, however, variation in simple metric characters like tooth size or jaw length plays an important role in debates about whether a sample comprises a single species or more than one morphologically similar specie…
Comparative application of the coefficient of variation and range-based statistics for assessing the taxonomic composition of fossil samples
Uniformitarianism and fossil species
Falsification of a single species hypothesis using the coefficient of variation
Dental variation remains an important criterion for assessing whether a morphologically homogeneous fossil primate sample includes more than one species. The Coefficient of Variation (CV) has commonly been used to compare variation in a fossil sample of unknown taxonomic composition with that of extant single‐species samples, in order to determine whether more than one species might be present. However, statistical tests for differences between f…
