  1. Landmarks recorded in Cebinae primates skulls using the three-dimensional digitizer. The designation A (anterior) or P (posterior) after the landmark name indicates in which position(s) the landmark was recorded. Landmarks are also identified in Figure 9. The order that each landmark was recorded is also presented (see additional movies material).
