Given that something as fundamental as food acquisition is subject to selection pressure, it
follows that morphological and behavioral diversity among primates is reflective of a range …

The origin of birds and powered flight is a classic major evolutionary transition. Research on
their origin often focuses on the evolution of the wing with trends of forelimb elongation …

Abstract Members of the Cercocebus‐Mandrillus clade are united by several morphological
features, including expanded premolars which are argued to be associated with a …

This study examines African papionin phylogenetic history through a comprehensive
cladistic analysis of extant and fossil craniodental morphology using both quantitative and …

Baboons (Papio hamadryas) are among the most successful extant primates, with a
minimum of six distinctive forms throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. However, their presence in …

Many studies in primate and human evolution focus on aspects of cranial morphology to
address issues of systematics, phylogeny, and functional anatomy. However, broad …

Inference of feeding adaptation in extinct species is challenging, and reconstructions of the
paleobiology of our ancestors have utilized an array of analytical approaches. Comparative …

Context: Reconstructing the evolutionary history of fossil human taxa is heavily reliant on the
ability to extract phylogenetic information from patterns of morphological variability …

The occlusal morphology of the teeth is mostly determined by the enamel-dentine junction
morphology; the enamel-dentine junction plays the role of a primer and conditions the …

African papionins are a highly successful subtribe of Old World monkeys with an extensive
fossil record. On the basis of both molecular and morphological data, crown African …
