Sexual dimorphism and variability of craniomandibular morphology in the Japanese giant flying squirrel, Petaurista leucogenys (Rodentia: Sciuridae)
8
TL;DR: The observed variability patterns suggest the existence of developmental factors and higher integration to maintain functional relationship related to their lifestyle, and craniomandibular dimorphism in P. leucogenys is identified as a size related phenomenon mostly associated with resource benefits, despite similarities in variability caused by morphological constraint.

Skull-shape variation and modularity in two Japanese field mice, Apodemus speciosus and Apodemus argenteus (Rodentia: Muridae)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used geometric morphometrics to examine the skull shape differences between two congeneric Japanese field mice, Apodemus speciosus and A. argenteus, and found that A.argenteus showed wider zygomatic arches and a broader mandibular ramus.

Morphometric study of sex differences and static variation in the skull of Indochinese ground squirrel, Menetes berdmorei (Rodentia: Sciuridae)
Jadab Kumar Biswas,Masaharu Motokawa +1 more
TL;DR: This study investigates sex differences and static variation in the skull of Indochinese ground squirrels (Menetes berdmorei) using linear morphometrics, revealing slight male-biased sexual size dimorphism and higher morphological integration in major skull components.

Patterns of Sexual Dimorphism, Static Allometry, and Modularity in the Skull of the Ethiopian White-Footed Mouse, Stenocephalemys albipes (Rodentia: Muridae)
Jadab Kumar Biswas,Masaharu Motokawa +1 more
TL;DR: This study investigates patterns of sexual dimorphism, static allometry, and modularity in the Ethiopian white-footed mouse skull using geometric morphometrics, revealing nonsignificant sexual dimorphism and modularity patterns, with allometric variation driven by growth and functional requirements.
