Comparative mandible geometric morphometrics of two African rodents,Thryonomys swinderianus and Cricetomys gambianus (Rodentia Thryonomyidae and Nesomyidae)
Samuel, O. M.; Parés Casanova, Pere-Miquel; Olopade, J. O. (Universidad Estatal a Distancia UNED (Costa Rica), 2016-07-15)The African giant pouched rat (Cricetomys gambianus) and greater cane rat or African cane rat (Thryonomys swinderianus) both have similar body conformation and share similar ecological biome. This study aimed to compare ... -
Geometric morphometrics of the skull of two African rodents, Thryonomys swinderianus and Cricetomys gambianus
Samuel, O. M.; Parés Casanova, Pere-Miquel; Nwaogu, I. C.; Olopade, J. O. (Annals of Experimental Biology, 2015-09-01)Greater cane (Thryonomys swinderianus) and African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys gambianus) have sympatric ecological relations and identical body conformation characteristic, and inhabit similar ecological biome and ... -
Mandible in the African rodent Cricetomys gambianus (Waterhouse, 1840) is low sexually dimorphic
Parés Casanova, Pere-Miquel; Samuel, O. M.; Olopade, J. O. (Medico Edge Publications, 2016-05-02)The aim of this study was to compare mandible forms in adult males and females of African giant rat (or Gambian pouched rat) (Cricetomys gambianusWaterhouse, 1840). For this purpose, 9 lateral mandibular landmarks were ... -
Mastication in goats shows a chewing side preference
Parés Casanova, Pere-Miquel; Lleixà, M.; Gambo, B. G.; Samuel, Michael Oluwale; Olopade, J. O. (OAT - Open Access Text, 2018-03-02)Developmental instability theory suggests that variation in some body parts in part can reflect the ability to buffer development from key environmental and genetic perturbations. Support for this approach comes mainly ... -
Non-functional sexually dimorphic mandibular differences in the African rodent Thryonomys swinderianus(Temminck, 1827)
Parés Casanova, Pere-Miquel; Samuel, O. M.; Olopade, J. O. (Scholars Research Library, 2015-12-31)This study aimed to compare mandibular parameters in adult males and females of Greater cane rat or African cane rat (Thryonomys swinderianus). For this purpose,9lateral mandibular landmarks were analysed by means of ... -
Similar Mechanical Forces in Hemimandible Goat Breeds
Parés Casanova, Pere-Miquel; Samuel, O. M.; Olopade, J. O. (Annals of Experimental Biology, 2018-06-20)The mammalian mandible is generally seen as a functional unit as a lever during biting. Allometry can be an important factor that contributes to adaptative traits and its variation. The purpose of this study was to determine ...
