Geometric morphometric analysis of cranium of wolf (canis lupus) and german shepherd dog (canis lupus familiaris)
In the study, it was aimed to investigate by geometric morphometric analysis to shape of the skull and mandible in adult male wolf and German Shepherd Dog. The skulls and mandibles were photographed from left side. The shape of skulls and mandibles were optimized by using tpsDig programme with 20 la...
