Data of Kouvari et al., 2021 - Humans and climate as possible drivers of the morphology and function of the mandible of Suncus etruscus in Corsica

Data and R files for manuscript Kouvari et al., 2021 titled "Humans and climate as possible drivers of the morphology and function of the mandible of Suncus etruscus in Corsica" Highlights - Mandible shape changed rapidly over the short period of time (14-19th century AD). - This led to changes in the mechanical potential of the principal masticatory muscle, the temporalis. - The temporalis’s negative correlation with the masseter, as well as their link with the anthropisation index suggest diet shifts linked to human activity - The integration of the body and ramus is not an indicator of environmental changes. Specimen photographs are only available upon request, due to their massive file size. Data folders: - The landmarks_morpho_raw folder contains the raw landmark coordinates of the specimens. These were produced using the "tpsdig2" software (Rohlf, 2010). - The landmarks_morpho_total folder contains the landmark coordinates of the specimens for each fragment type, including specimens for other more complete fragment types. - The size_and_mp folder contains centroid size and mechanical potential data files. - The specimen_info folder contains the specimen information per fragment type (layer, D for right and G for left side mandible, and specimen number). R files have a title describing what they do and they are in the order of execution.
