• New large-bodied mammals from the Late Oligocene site of Chilga, Ethiopia (2004, background): “andrewsi” added in to the calculations, CVs for the same tooth dimensions increase to a range of 7 to 15, not too high to encompass within a sin− gle species, and indeed, comfortably within the range ex− pected for dimorphic species (Plavcan and Cope 2001).”
• Body Size, Size Variation, and Sexual Size Dimorphism in Early Homo (2012, background): “…cranial, dental, and postcranial traits are normally or at least unimodally distributed in males and females, the effect of dimorphism is to simultaneously increase the total sample variance and generate bimodality (Godfrey, Lyon, and Sutherland 1993; Plavcan 1994, 2000b; Plavcan and Kay 1988).”
