Molar size sequence in Old World monkeys

D R Swindler, A F Olshan

    Folia Primatologica; International Journal of Primatology
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    The molar size sequence in Old World monkeys shows variations. Caution is advised when using molar size for taxonomic classification due to inconsistent patterns.

    Area of Science:

    • Primatology
    • Comparative Anatomy
    • Paleontology

    Background:

    • Molar size sequences are often used in primate taxonomy.
    • Understanding these sequences can provide insights into evolutionary relationships.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the molar size sequence (M3 > M2 > M1) in various Old World monkeys.
    • To determine the prevalence of this sequence across different subfamilies and tribes.
    • To assess the reliability of molar size sequences for taxonomic purposes.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of molar dimensions across diverse Old World monkey species.
    • Examination of maxillary and mandibular molar size relationships.

    Main Results:

    • The M3 > M2 > M1 molar size progression is prevalent in Papionini and Colobinae, but rare in Cercopithecini.
    • Maxillary molars exhibit greater variability in size relationships compared to mandibular molars.

    Conclusions:

    • The molar size sequence is not a universally consistent trait across all Old World monkeys.
    • Taxonomic interpretations based solely on molar size sequences require careful consideration and additional evidence.
