收集灵长类头骨（颅骨和下颌骨）和某些颅后元素的高分辨率microCT扫描数据集，以解决有关灵长类头骨形态的问题。该样本由431个标本的489个扫描组成，代表了大多数灵长类家族的59个物种。这些数据具有变革性的再利用潜力，因为这些数据集对于对灵长类动物进化进行高功率研究是必要的，但需要大量的时间和资金来收集。类似的数据集以前只提供给世界各地选定的研究小组。这些物理标本保存在哈佛比较动物学博物馆。数据收集在哈佛纳米系统中心进行。该数据集存档在MorphoSource.org上。虽然这是迄今为止最大的高保真比较数据集，但它在网络存档上的提供允许研究人员无限贡献，这预示着未来研究人员指尖上的数字收藏将大大增加。
A dataset of high-resolution microCT scans of primate skulls (crania and mandibles) and certain postcranial elements was collected to address questions about primate skull morphology. The sample consists of 489 scans taken from 431 specimens, representing 59 species of most Primate families. These data have transformative reuse potential as such datasets are necessary for conducting high power research into primate evolution, but require significant time and funding to collect. Similar datasets were previously only available to select research groups across the world. The physical specimens are vouchered at Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology. The data collection took place at the Center for Nanoscale Systems at Harvard. The dataset is archived on MorphoSource.org. Though this is the largest high fidelity comparative dataset yet available, its provisioning on a web archive that allows unlimited researcher contributions promises a future with vastly increased digital collections available at researchers’ finger tips.
