Approaches to studying endocranial morphology in Euarchontoglires: Assessing sources of error for a novel and biologically informative set of landmarks
Despite its importance for making biologically meaningful conclusions in geometric morphometric analyses, landmark error is inconsistently assessed. We evaluate a set of 30 landmarks designed to capture shape ...

Early Evolution of the Brain in Primates and Their Close Kin
The interpretation of early primate endocasts can be framed around four critical questions: (1) What are accurate estimates of endocranial capacity for known euprimate specimens? (2) What does the available da...

New Virtual Endocasts of Eocene Ischyromyidae and Their Relevance in Evaluating Neurological Changes Occurring Through Time in Rodentia
Little is known about the early evolution of the brain in rodents. We report on nine new virtual endocasts for one of the most primitive family of rodents, Ischyromyidae, based on five specimens of Pseudotomus an...
