Abstract

A comparative analysis of the phenetic pool of mammalian populations has been performed on the basis of two groups of characters: odontological and craniological proper. In total, 1637 skulls belonging to seven species were analyzed. It is shown that the values of population parameters (the intrapopulation diversity, proportion of rare phenes, and fluctuating asymmetry) are significantly different for these two groups of characters. We hypothesize a greater degree of gene control in the formation of odontological characters and their lower responsiveness to environmental factors in comparison with craniological characters. Significant correlations between fluctuating asymmetry values have been identified for the different groups of characters, and a significant positive relationship between the fluctuating asymmetry and diversity was established. Complex usage of the two character systems is proposed to identify the initial stages of individual development disorders and assess the degree of these disorders in the course of evaluation of the stability of ontogenesis on the basis of the fluctuating asymmetry level in natural mammalian populations.

摘要

根据两组特征进行了比较，分析了哺乳动物种群的物候群：牙科学和颅骨学。总共分析了属于7个物种的1637个头骨。结果表明，这两组字符的种群参数值（种群内多样性，稀有酚的比例和不对称波动）显着不同。我们假设与颅骨学特征相比，在牙科学特征的形成中基因控制程度更高，并且它们对环境因素的响应性较低。已为不同的字符组确定了波动不对称值之间的显着相关性，并且波动不对称性和多样性之间建立了显着的正相关关系。
