Comparative microcomputed tomography and histological study of maxillary pneumatization in four species of new world monkeys
In anthropoid primates, it has been hypothesized that the magnitude of maxillary sinus growth is influenced by adjacent dental and soft tissue matrices. Relatively, little comparative evidence exists for the perinatal period when secondary pneumatization is at its earliest stages in some primates. Here, dental and midfacial variables were studied in a perinatal sample of four anthropoid primates, including three callitrichines ( Leontopithecus , …
Brief communication
Ectocranial suture fusion patterns have been shown to contain biological and phylogenetic information. Previously the patterns of Homo , Pan , and Gorilla have been described. These data reflect the phylogenetic relationships among these species. In this study, we applied similar methodology to Pongo to determine the suture synostosis progression of this genus, and to allow comparison to previously reported data on other large‐bodied hominoids. W…

Ontogenetic characteristics of the vomeronasal organ in Saguinus geoffroyi and Leontopithecus rosalia , with comparisons to other primates
It has been suggested that the variability of the primate vomeronasal organ (VNO) may be greater than previously thought, especially among New World monkeys. It is not clear to what extent VNO variation reflects ontogenetic, functional, or phylogenetic differences among primates. The present study investigated VNO anatomy in an ontogenetic series of two genera of callitrichid primates, in order to assess recent attempts to develop VNO character s…
“Month of birth effect” does not alter longitudinal growth in an experimental animal model
Previous cross-sectional human and animal data collected in the southern hemisphere suggest that month of birth influences growth throughout life; individuals born between August and January (spring/summer) were larger than individuals born between February and July (fall/winter) throughout their life cycle. It has been suggested that there is some form of annual global variation which may be caused by extraterrestrial factors. The present study,…
Sutural bone frequency in synostotic rabbit crania
This study tests the hypothesis that crania with synostosed sutures will have a significantly higher incidence of calvarial sutural bones than normal crania. Sutural bones were counted in seven calvarial sutures and compared among four groups of adult New Zealand white rabbit skulls: normal in-colony (NI) controls (N = 14), normal out-colony (NO) controls (N = 12), skulls with familial delayed onset (DO) coronal synostosis (N = 25), and skulls wi…
Longitudinal study of dental development in chimpanzees of known chronological age
Reconstruction of life history variables of fossil hominids on the basis of dental development requires understanding of and comparison with the pattern and timing of dental development among both living humans and pongids. Whether dental development among living apes or humans provides a better model for comparison with that of Plio-Pleistocene hominids of the genus Australopithecus remains a contentious point. This paper presents new data on ch…

Multivariate analysis of second trimester midfacial morphology in normal and cleft lip and palate human fetal specimens
To better understand the contribution of congenital dysmorphogenesis to postnatal midfacial dysplasia in individuals with complete cleft lip and palate (CLP), a series of studies were undertaken to investigate age related changes in a number of midfacial components for a sample of 20 normal and 9 complete CLP second trimester fetal specimens. Using data from this sample, the present study assessed the complex multivariate relationships among thes…
Premaxillary‐maxillary suture fusion and anterior nasal tubercle morphology in the chimpanzee
The anterior nasal spine (ANS) is considered by some to be a unique characteristic of modern humans; however, it has been reported to occur in chimpanzees. Among human populations, ANS size correlates with facial prognathism and timing of premaxillary‐maxillary sutural fusion, which may have implications for models of midfacial growth. To investigate these questions, skulls from 55 chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) (29 male, 26 female), ranging in …
Perinatal stress and increased fluctuating asymmetry of dental calcium in the laboratory rat
Recent studies have consistently reported an increased magnitude of fluctuating dental, long bone, and membranous bone asymmetry as a function of perinatal stress. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that increases in the fluctuating asymmetry of calcium may be related to the metric changes in these calcium‐dependent systems. Pregnant rats were exposed to noise stress from conception through weaning. Bilateral lower first molars…
Prenatal stress and increased fluctuating asymmetry in the parietal bones of neonatal rats
Recent studies have reported increased fluctuating dental and long bone asymmetry in neonates as a function of prenatal stress. The present study was designed to assess the effects of prenatal stress on a third calcium‐dependent system, membranous bone. Pregnant rats were exposed to cold, heat, or noise from conception through parturition. Bilateral parietal bone lengths were measured in the term neonates. Levels of fluctuating asymmetry were fou…
