Abstract

No bilateral variation accompanies the skull size change in domestic pig

Author(s): Pere M. Parés-Casanova* and Cristina Esteve-Puig

Morphological symmetry and asymmetry in a sample of 41 domestic pig skulls was decomposed into a component of symmetric and asymmetric variation using geometric morphometric methods. The left–right symmetric variation was similar to the asymmetric variation, and both mainly centred on the caudal part of skull.
