The relationship of tooth size to body size in a population of rhesus monkeys ( Macaca mulatta )

Tooth areas correlate significantly with long bone measurements in a skeletal population of rhesus monkeys from Cayo Santiago. Correlations are relatively large for the troop as a whole, as well as for males and females separately. Femur and humerus length measurements show the highest correlations with tooth size.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/37558/1/1330430306_ftp.pd
