## Abstract The present study is the first describing sexual dimorphism in the pelves of prosimian primates. Various measurements and indices indicate that there is no significant sexual dimorphism in the pelves of African lorises (__Perodicticus potto__ and __Arctocebus calabarensis__). The lack o

Size variation in African apes (Gorilla gorilla [gorilla], Pan paniscus [pygmy chimpanzee], and Pan troglodytes ["common" chimpanzee]) is substantial, both within and between species. We investigate the possible evolutionary significance of this variation through a n analysis of the ontogeny of size
## Abstract We present body mass (N = 419) and crownβrump length (CRL, N = 210) measurements from 38 male and 49 female mandrills born into a semifreeβranging colony in order to describe growth from birth to adulthood, and to investigate maternal influences upon growth. Adult male mandrills are 3.4
Sexual dimorphism in the hyoid bone was investigated and the usefulness of the hyoid bone as an additional sex indicator was assessed. Fifty-nine hyoid bones from human cadavers of known sex and age were examined and 13 measurements were taken directly from the X-ray film. A multivariate approach, b
Recently discovered crania of Australopithecus africanus from Sterkfontein Member 4 and Makapansgat enlarge the size range of the species and encourage a reappraisal of both the degree and pattern of sexual dimorphism. Resampling methodology (bootstrapping) is used here to establish that A. africanu
