Using machine learning to investigate premolar ecomorphology in anthropoid primates

This dataset includes raw linear and topographic measurements taken on the mandibular dentitions of 313 extant anthropoid primates. Measurements include cusp reliefs of mandibular second molars (M2), mandibular fourth premolars (P4), and mandibular honing premolars (P2/P3), positive ariaDNE of M2, P4, and P2/P3, the heights, widths, and breadths of mandibular first incisors (I1), and lengths of mandibular first molars (M1). Demographic data (genus, species, dietary ecology, specimen ID, sex, and institution) is also included for each specimen. This dataset also includes the R scripts for performing phylogenetic ANOVAs and Random Forest permutation feature importance, and the Python script for calculating positive ariaDNE.
