Jaw-Muscle Structure and Function in Primates: Insights Into Muscle Performance and Feeding-System Behaviors
The jaw-adductor muscles drive the movements and forces associated with primate feeding behaviors such as biting and chewing as well as social signaling behaviors such as wide-mouth canine display. The past several decades have seen a rise in research aimed at the anatomy and physiology of primate chewing muscles to better understand the functional and evolutionary significance of the primate masticatory apparatus. This review summarizes variatio…
Variation in Craniodental Pathologies Among Cercopithecoid Primates
Pathologies of the skull and teeth are well documented for many human populations, but there are fewer studies of other primates. We contrast lesion prevalence and patterning among cercopithecoid primates and map variation onto socioecological variables. We compare craniodental lesions in six species: Nasalis larvatus ( n = 54), Colobus polykomos ( n = 64), Cercopithecus mitis ( n = 65), Macaca fascicularis ( n = 109), Theropithecus gelada ( n = …

Jaw-muscle fiber architecture and skull form facilitate relatively wide jaw gapes in male cercopithecoid monkeys
Early Pleistocene fauna of the Olteţ River Valley of Romania: Biochronological and biogeographic implications
Mandibular ramus shape variation and ontogeny in Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis
Trabecular mapping: Leveraging geometric morphometrics for analyses of trabecular structure
OBJECTIVES: Trabecular microstructure of limb bone epiphyses has been used to elucidate the relationship between skeletal form and behavior among mammals. Such studies have often relied on the analysis of a single volume of interest (VOI). Here we present a method for evaluating variation in bone microstructure across articular surfaces by leveraging sliding semilandmarks. METHODS: Two samples were used to demonstrate the proposed methodology and…
Error in geometric morphometric data collection: Combining data from multiple sources
OBJECTIVES: This study compares two- and three-dimensional morphometric data to determine the extent to which intra- and interobserver and intermethod error influence the outcomes of statistical analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data were collected five times for each method and observer on 14 anthropoid crania using calipers, a MicroScribe, and 3D models created from NextEngine and microCT scans. ANOVA models were used to examine variance in the …
Mandibular ramus shape of Australopithecus sediba suggests a single variable species
Jaw-muscle architecture and mandibular morphology influence relative maximum jaw gapes in the sexually dimorphic Macaca fascicularis
Dietary correlates of temporomandibular joint morphology in the great apes
Behavioral observations of great apes have consistently identified differences in feeding behavior among species, and these differences have been linked to variation in masticatory form. As the point at which the mandible and cranium articulate, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an important component of the masticatory apparatus. Forces are transmitted between the mandible and cranium via the TMJ, and this joint helps govern mandibular range …
Postnatal temporal bone ontogeny in Pan , Gorilla , and Homo , and the implications for temporal bone ontogeny in Australopithecus afarensis
Assessments of temporal bone morphology have played an important role in taxonomic and phylogenetic evaluations of fossil taxa, and recent three‐dimensional analyses of this region have supported the utility of the temporal bone for testing taxonomic and phylogenetic hypotheses. But while clinical analyses have examined aspects of temporal bone ontogeny in humans, the ontogeny of the temporal bone in non‐human taxa is less well documented. This s…

Temporal squama shape in fossil hominins: Relationships to cranial shape and a determination of character polarity
In 1943, Weidenreich described the squamosal suture of Homo erectus as long, low, and simian in character and suggested that this morphology was dependent upon the correlation between the size of the calvarium and the face. Many researchers now consider this character to be diagnostic of H. erectus . The relationship between cranial size and shape and temporal squama morphology, however, is unclear, and several authors have called for detailed me…
Genetic, geographic, and environmental correlates of human temporal bone variation
Temporal bone shape has been shown to reflect molecular phylogenetic relationships among hominoids and offers significant morphological detail for distinguishing taxa. Although it is generally accepted that temporal bone shape, like other aspects of morphology, has an underlying genetic component, the relative influence of genetic and environmental factors is unclear. To determine the impact of genetic differentiation and environmental variation …
