2D Geometric morphometrics of the first lower molar of the genus Meles Brisson,...
Rosas, Antonio; Soler-Fajardo, Ana; Garcia-Tabernero, Antonio; Huguet, Rosa; Vallverdú, Josep; Fidalgo, Darío; Galli, Emilia; Piñero, PedroBadgers belong to the genus Meles Brisson, 1762, which comprise four extant species (M. anakuma Temminck, 1844, M. leucurus (Hodgson, 1847), M. canescens Blanford, 1875, and M. meles (Linnaeus, 1758)). The genus is included in the subfamily Melinae Bonaparte, 1838, a polyphyletic group of Eurasian mustelids whose evolutionary relationships need further clarification. The evolutive relationships of the genus are...
Testing different 3D techniques using geometric morphometrics: Implications for...
Olsen, Trine Bottos; García-Martínez, Daniel; Villa, ChiaraThis study aimed to test the performance of 3D digitizer, CT scanner, and surface scanner in detecting cranial fluctuating asymmetry. Sets of 32 landmarks (6 in the midline and 13 bilateral) were acquired from 14 archeological crania using a 3D digitizer, and from 3D models generated from a CT scanner and surface scanner using Viewbox 4. Levels of shape variation were analyzed in MorphoJ using Procrustes analys...
Geometric morphometrics applied to molars of Pleistocene Bos and Bison of Europe
Galli, Emilia; Fidalgo, Darío; García-Martínez, Daniel; Rosas, AntonioABSTRACT: Bos and bison Bison (Bovinae, Mammalia) are closely related large mammals abundant in Pleistocene fossil assemblages. The determination of osteological elements of these bovines is traditionally based on morphological differences, but new molecular studies suggest the synonymy of both genera. Following recent advances in morphological classifying methods we implemented a two-dimensional geometric morp...
