Estimation of Ancestry from the Human Postcranial Skeleton

, 2021
The identification of ancestry from the human skeleton is one of the more difficult assessments in forensic anthropology. Most ancestry research has focused on the skull, however this is sometimes missing or unusable. Research on the postcranial skeleton has focussed on the pelvis and lower limb. The main aim of this study was to investigate the nature

Metric sex estimation from the postcranial skeleton for the Colombian population

Forensic Science International, 2016
This research explores the best univariate and multivariate indicators for sex estimation using 51 standard osteometric measurements of all six major postcranial long bones, bones of the shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle, and the calcaneus from a modern, Colombian skeletal collection. The hypotheses being tested are (1) that postcrania will yield accurate

The postcranial skeleton of the basal tapinocephalid dinocephalianTapinocaninus pamelae(Synapsida: Therapsida) from the South African Karoo Supergroup

Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2019
Dinocephalians form an important component of the Guadalupian basal therapsid faunas of Pangaea. Most research undertaken on this clade has focused on the skull while postcranial research has lagged, largely because of the rarity of sufficiently complete

Terrestrial adaptations in the postcranial skeletons of guenons

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1994
AbstractArboreal and semiterrestrial guenons show similar osteological features of the limbs across a wide range of species, environments, and geography, while the more terrestrially committed guenons exhibit greater morphological divergence. An ecomorphological comparison of two sympatric guenons living in Kibale Forest, Uganda, reveals an array of ...

Allometry and adaptation in the catarrhine postcranial skeleton

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1982
AbstractSeven measurements were taken on the postcranial skeleton of 249 specimens representing ten species of catarrhine primates and tested to determine their relationship with size. Size was measured as skeletal weight on each individual.It was found that the interspecific line based on the entire sample was in some cases determined not only by ...

Sexual Dimorphism in the Postcranial Skeleton of Dinosaurs

Paleontological Journal, 2020
Sex-related variability in the tetrapod skeleton has regular patterns that reflect the different ontogenetic pathways leading to the formation of adult sexual features. In dinosaurs (as well as amniotes in general), these features are most pronounced in the morphology of postcranial bones.

Postcranial skeleton ofShinisaurus crocodilurus (Squamata: Anguimorpha)

Journal of Morphology, 2006
The postcranial skeleton is poorly known for Shinisaurus crocodilurus, the Chinese crocodile lizard. Discrepancies exist between published accounts of Shinisaurus; moreover, comparisons with complete specimens show important differences from the published descriptions.

THE POSTCRANIAL SKELETON OF EARLY EOCENE RODENTS

Bulletin of Carnegie Museum of Natural History, 2004
Abstract We describe and analyze the postcranial skeleton of Wasatchian rodents based on more than 30 new skeletal associations representing at least four genera and six species, all but one species attributed to Paramyidae. The limb skeleton of Wasatchian paramyids is relatively homogeneous across species and similar to that of extant sciurids.

Sexual Dimorphism in the Postcranial Skeleton of New World Primates

Folia Primatologica, 1985
This study examines sexual dimorphism in 24 dimensions of the postcranial skeleton of four platyrrhine species: Callithrix jacchus, Saguinus nigricollis, Saimiri sciureus, and Cebus albifrons. The two callitrichid species show a relatively small amount of variation in the degree of sexual dimorphism among the different dimensions.
