The Distribution of Shape Variation in the Teeth of the European Cave Bear Ursus Spelaeus Rosenmüller Analysed using Three Dimensional Eigenshape and Computer Image Analysis

<p>Masters thesis, final version. An examination of the morphological variation in the teeth of the European Pleistocene cave bear<em> Ursus spelaeus</em> using geometric morphometrics and automated image recognition analysis. Biogegraphy was used as a factor to test variation. The effect of biogeography was not significant.
