本研究采用圣地亚哥岛恒河猴骨骼样本，探讨颅骨测量变量与非测量性状之间的关系。判别函数分析被用来研究猕猴颅骨之间的度量差异分组根据9个非度量性状的存在或不存在。从判别函数分析的总结构系数的计算提供了关于每个度量变量与所导出的判别函数有多密切相关的信息。总结构系数在度量性状和非度量性状之间关系的研究中还没有使用过。分析的结果解释使用明确的方法，颅形态发生功能颅分析。它的结论是颅测量和非测量性状之间的关系是可以解释的两种类型的特征共享一个共同的发展途径。非度量性状的特定病因的鉴定取决于未来的解剖学研究或整个非度量性状发育时期的生物体。
This study addresses the relationship between cranial metric variables and nonmetric traits using the skeletal sample of rhesus macaques from Cayo Santiago. Discriminant function analysis is used to study the metric differences between macaque crania grouped according to the presence or absence of nine nonmetric traits. The computation of total structure coefficients from the discriminant function analyses provides information regarding how closely each metric variable is related to the discriminant functions derived. Total structure coefficients have not been used previously in the study of the relationship between metric and nonmetric traits. The results of the analysis are interpreted using an explicit approach to cranial morphogenesis-functional cranial analysis. It is concluded that the relationship between cranial metric and nonmetric traits is explicable in terms of a common developmental pathway shared by the two types of traits. Identification of the specific etiology of nonmetric traits depends on future anatomical studies or organisms throughout the period of nonmetric trait development.
