Congruence of individual cranial bone morphology and neutral molecular affinity patterns in modern humans.

29 Sep 2009 Recent studies have demonstrated that the shape of the human temporal bone is particularly strongly correlated with neutral genetic expectation, when compared against other cranial regions, such as the vault, face, and basicranium. In turn, this has ... Read more...

Discrimination of extant Pan species and subspecies using the enamel-dentine junction morphology of lower molars.

29 Sep 2009 Previous research has demonstrated that species and subspecies of extant chimpanzees and bonobos can be distinguished on the basis of the shape of their molar crowns. Thus, there is potential for fossil taxa, particularly fossil hominins, to be ... Read more...

Unified terminology for cestode microtriches: a proposal from the International Workshops on Cestode Systematics in 2002-2008.

30 Aug 2009 Terminology for microtriches, the surface features both unique to and ubiquitous among cestodes, is standardised based on discussions that occurred at the International Workshops on Cestode Systematics in Storrs, Connecticut, USA in 2002, in Ceské ... Read more...
