Odontometric study of African monkey teeth

C L Lavelle

    Acta Anatomica
    |January 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Univariate analysis showed complex contrasts in tooth dimensions between three monkey species. Multivariate analysis distinguished Cercocebus albigena from Cercopithecus aethiops and Cercopithecus ascanius, but the cause remains unclear.

    Area of Science:

    • Primatology
    • Dental Morphology
    • Comparative Anatomy

    Background:

    • Dental metrics are crucial for understanding primate evolution and taxonomy.
    • Previous studies have explored primate dental variation, but comprehensive comparative analyses are ongoing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare mesiodistal and buccolingual crown diameters across three primate species: Cercocebus albigena, Cercopithecus aethiops, and Cercopithecus ascanius.
    • To investigate the utility of univariate and multivariate analyses in differentiating these species based on dental morphology.

    Main Methods:

    • Univariate statistical analysis of mesiodistal and buccolingual crown diameters.
    • Multivariate statistical analysis (e.g., discriminant function analysis) of dental dimensions.

    Main Results:

    • Univariate analysis revealed complex patterns of contrast in tooth dimensions, varying with the specific dimension and species pair compared.
    • Multivariate analysis successfully discriminated the dentition of Cercocebus albigena from that of Cercopithecus aethiops and Cercopithecus ascanius.
    • The observed differences in dental morphology could not be definitively attributed to genetic or environmental factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Dental crown dimensions exhibit species-specific variation in these guenon and mangabey monkeys.
    • Multivariate approaches are more effective than univariate analyses for discriminating between closely related primate species based on dental metrics.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the etiological basis (genetic vs. environmental) of the observed dental dimorphism.
