      Citation Excerpt :

      It was shown that craniofacial shape is similarly integrated in humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas (Mitteroecker and Bookstein, 2008; Singh et al., 2012), and although we expect lower relative amounts of bone resorption in the chimpanzee maxilla than in humans, a similar pattern of expression of the osteoclastic activity could reflect these shared patterns of craniofacial integration. Moreover, as the chimpanzee's premaxilla follows an upward rotation during postnatal ontogeny (McCollum and Ward, 1997; McCollum, 1999; Martinez-Maza et al., 2015), this displacement should be associated with predominant bone formation following Enlow's predictions cited previously (Enlow, 1962; Enlow and Harris, 1964; Enlow and Bang, 1965). We also test if changes in shape covary with changes in the bone modeling patterns and investigate the shared and unique features of each species' bone modeling and morphological developmental pattern using an integrative approach.
