Distinguishing Mustela From Neogale (Mustelidae) Through Both a Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Skull and Tooth Morphology

Distinguishing Mustela From Neogale (Mustelidae) Through Both a Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Skull and Tooth Morphology

Weasels and mink (Mustela and Neogale) can be difficult to distinguish osteologically due to similarities in morphology, thus suggesting the need for an accurate tool in distinguishing among taxa. This study utilized a combination of character state and stepwise discriminant function (DFA) analyses...
