    Craniofacial variation, integration, and evolutionary diversification in baboons
    (2009) Off, Eileen Catherine; Ackermann, Rebecca Rogers
    This dissertation aims to increase our understanding of Papio by: 1) examining variation within and between baboon species; 2) investigating morphological integration in the cranium, and; 3) determining what evolutionary processes produce diversification among baboon crania. Twenty-five three-dimensional cranial landmarks on six-hundred and sixty four baboon crania from seven species were digitized. Forty-seven linear distances, chosen to cover the skull with minimal redundancy, were calculated from these coordinate data.
