Cranial form evolution and functional adaptations to diet among papionins : a comparative study combining quantitative genetics, geometric morphometrics, and finite element analysis
This thesis aims to study the evolution of cranial form and its biomechanical adaptation to the function of feeding in papionins, a group of primates with well-established phylogeny, large variations in cranial form, and well known ecologies and diets. The thesis firstly tests the hypothesis of evol...
