Abstract
Hylobatid cranial similarities are examined using Cartesian coordinates describing morphological landmarks. While Symphalangus appears distinct from analysis of raw coordinates, it is less so when analytical procedures are included for controlling the influence of general size. This weakens arguments for maintaining siamangs as a distinct genus from Hylobates.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
