TL;DR: It was found that the chondrocranium was the only FDM in which shape consistently had a strong and significant phylogenetic signal, implying that the utility of specific FDMs for phylogenetic inference could, in many cases, be hampered by the low reproducibility of results.

TL;DR: Undergraduates recognise the benefits of research experience but need a realistic understanding of the research process, and require training to recognise the skills required for research and enhanced transparency in potential project outcomes.

TL;DR: This issue is addressed empirically using repeated randomized selection experiments to build progressively smaller samples from an original dataset of ∼400 vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops) skulls, finding mean size, standard deviation of size and variance of shape are found to be fairly accurate even in relatively small samples.

TL;DR: To examine and visualize clines in size and shape of Cercopithecus aethiops Linneus, 1758 and to investigate environmental factors which might best explain the observed variation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review emphasizes the need for a better understanding of seasonal biology against the backdrop of its rapidly progressing disruption through climate change, human lifestyles and other anthropogenic impact.
