An assessment of the likely impact of strain-related phenotypic plasticity on hominin fossil species identification by M. Collard, S.J. Lycett

“…We divided the measurements into three groups: measurements of features subject to high masticatory strain, measurements of features subject to low-to-moderate masticatory strain, and measurements of features that do not remodel and therefore are not prone to strain-related phenotypic plasticity. Next, we used the coefficient of variation and ANOVA to investigate whether masticatory strain is a cause of variability. …”
