Hypercarnivorous mammal species are among the most vulnerable to population losses and endangerment. Among belonging Family Canidae, hypercarnivores frequently subject intense conservation efforts including captive breeding reintroduction attempts. However, hypercarnivorous may be morphological changes in captivity, potentially altering their cranial functionality limiting success. Other canid ...

The aim of this study was to analyse the effects of cranial base orientation on the morphology of the craniofacial system in human populations. Three geographically distant populations from Europe (72), Africa (48) and Asia (24) were chosen. Five angular and two linear variables from the cranial base component and six angular and six linear variables from the facial component based on two refer...
