A multivariate comparison of dental variation in wild and captive populations of baboons (Papio hamadryas).

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic variation is critical to many aspects of biological research. Use of a captive population to address questions concerning the genetics and evolution of dental variation raises the question of how the pattern of phenotypic variation under study compares with that in a wild population of the same species. Differences in the pattern of variation within wild and captive populations may indicate different...
