Mandibular shape variation in mainland and insular hylobatids
Although hylobatids are the most speciose of the living apes, their morphological interspecies and intraspecies variation remains poorly understood. Here, we assess mandibular shape variation in two species of Hylobates , white‐handed ( Hylobates lar ) and black‐handed ( Hylobates agilis ) gibbons. Using 71 three‐dimensional landmarks to quantify mandibular shape, interspecies and intraspecies variation and geographic patterns of mandibular shape…
Ontogenetic insights into the significance of mandibular corpus shape variation in hominoids: Developmental covariation between M 2 crypt formation and corpus shape
Objectives Here, we quantify and compare the cross‐sectional shape of the mandibular corpus between M 1 and M 2 during growth in Pan paniscus , Pan troglodytes , and Pongo pygmaeus . The goal is to assess the hypothesis that the shape of the corpus is influenced by the development of permanent molars in their crypts, by examining ontogenetic changes in corpus shape and investigating covariation between corpus shape and M 2 and M 3 molar crypt for…
A new method to quantify mandibular corpus shape in extant great apes and its potential application to the hominoid fossil record
OBJECTIVES: Mandibular corpus robusticity (corpus breadth/corpus height) is the most commonly utilized descriptor of the mandibular corpus in the great ape and hominin fossil records. As a consequence of its contoured shape, linear metrics used to characterize mandibular robusticity are inadequate to quantify the shape of the mandibular corpus. Here, we present an alternative to the traditional assessment of mandibular shape by analyzing the outl…
