Phenotypic plasticity in the mandibular morphology of Japanese macaques: captive–wild comparison

Despite the accumulating evidence suggesting the importance of phenotypic plasticity in diversification and adaptation, little is known about plastic variation in primate skulls. The present study evaluated the plastic variation of the mandible in Japanese macaques by comparing wild and captive spec...
