Paranasal pneumatization in extant and fossil Cercopithecoidea (2007)
Journal Article
Rae, T. (2008). Paranasal pneumatization in extant and fossil Cercopithecoidea. Journal of Human Evolution, 54(3), 279-286. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhevol.2007.07.010

Unlike most primates, extant cercopithecoids lack maxillary sinuses, which are pneumatic spaces in the facial skeleton lateral of the nasal cavity proper. Character state analysis of living cercopithecoids across well-supported topologies suggests th... Read More about Paranasal pneumatization in extant and fossil Cercopithecoidea.

Developmental response to cold stress in cranial morphology of _Rattus_: implications for the interpretation of climatic adaptation in fossil hominins (2006)
Journal Article
Rae, T., Viðarsdóttir, U., Jeffery, N., & Steegmann Jr., A. (2006). Developmental response to cold stress in cranial morphology of _Rattus_: implications for the interpretation of climatic adaptation in fossil hominins. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 273(1601), 2605-2610. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2006.3629

Adaptation to climate occupies a central position in biological anthropology. The demonstrable relationship between temperature and morphology in extant primates (including humans) forms the basis of the interpretation of the Pleistocene hominin Homo...

Miocene hominoid craniofacial morphology and the emergence of great apes (2004)
Journal Article
Rae, T. (2004). Miocene hominoid craniofacial morphology and the emergence of great apes. Annals of Anatomy, 186(5-6), 417-421. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0940-9602%2804%2980074-8

The initial cladogenic event between Hominoidea (apes, including humans) and Cercopithecoidea (Old World monkeys) consisted primarily of changes in the craniofacial region. These changes, seen in taxa commonly known as victoriapithecids and proconsul... Read More about Miocene hominoid craniofacial morphology and the emergence of great apes.

Holes in the head: evolutionary interpretations of the paranasal sinuses in catarrhines (2004)
Journal Article
Rae, T., & Koppe, T. (2004). Holes in the head: evolutionary interpretations of the paranasal sinuses in catarrhines. Evolutionary Anthropology, 13(6), 211-223. https://doi.org/10.1002/evan.20036

Everyone who has ever experienced a head cold is familiar with the paranasal sinuses, the bony hollows above and beside the nasal cavity that contribute, sometimes painfully, to upper respiratory tract disorders. These internal cranial structures hav... Read More about Holes in the head: evolutionary interpretations of the paranasal sinuses in catarrhines.

Clinal variation of maxillary sinus volume in Japanese macaques (_Macaca fuscata_) (2003)
Journal Article
Rae, T., Hill, R., Hamada, Y., & Koppe, T. (2003). Clinal variation of maxillary sinus volume in Japanese macaques (_Macaca fuscata_). American Journal of Primatology, 59(4), 153-158. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.10072

Macaques (genus Macaca) are unique among cercopithecids in that they possess a maxillary sinus, and among anthropoids in that they demonstrate a relatively weak relationship between the size of this sinus and the cranium. To test the hypothesis that... Read More about Clinal variation of maxillary sinus volume in Japanese macaques (_Macaca fuscata_).
