Patterns of tooth size variability in the dentition of primates
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1979-09)
Published data on tooth size in 48 species of non-human primates have been analyzed to determine patterns of variability in the primate dentition. Average coefficients of variation calculated for all species, with males ...
Homologies of the anterior teeth in indriidae
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1979-08)
Schwartz ('74) proposed revised homologies of the deciduous and permanent anterior teeth in living lemuriform primates of the family Indriidae. Gingerich ('77) described a juvenile specimen of Avahi and emphasized the ...
Correlation of tooth size and body size in living hominoid primates, with a note on relative brain size in Aegyptopithecus and Proconsul
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1977-11)
Second molar length and body weight are used to test the correlation between tooth size and body size in living Hominoidea. These variates are highly correlated ( r = 0.942, p <0.001), indicating that tooth size can be ...
Homologies of the anterior teeth in Indriidae and a functional basis for dental reduction in primates
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1977-11)
In a recent paper Schwartz ('74) proposes revised homologies of the deciduous and permanent teeth in living lemuriform primates of the family Indriidae. However, new evidence provided by the deciduous dentition of Avahi ...
The human mandible: Lever, link, or both?
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1979-07)
Hylander ('78) recently published important new data on bite force in humans, and showed that the human mandible cannot function purely as a link during incisal biting. He concluded instead that the mandible acts as a ...
