This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.7.1). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version c51166c. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:


Ignored files:
    Ignored:    .DS_Store
    Ignored:    .Rhistory
    Ignored:    .Rproj.user/
    Ignored:    data/.DS_Store

Unstaged changes:
    Modified:   analysis/trait_matrix.Rmd

Note that any generated files, e.g. HTML, png, CSS, etc., are not included in this status report because it is ok for generated content to have uncommitted changes.


These are the previous versions of the repository in which changes were made to the R Markdown (analysis/index.Rmd) and HTML (docs/index.html) files.

“From Birth to Maturity: A Phylogenetic Investigation of Sexual Dimorphism in Primates” coming soon to an AABA poster session!

Abstract

Hair patterning serves as a mechanism for complex visual and social signaling in primates. Our study offers a comprehensive analysis, focusing on two primary aspects: 1) Natal Coats and 2) Adult Sexual Dimorphism. Adult Sexual Dimorphism is divided into two sub-aspects: 2a) Sexual Dichromatism and 2b) Hair Morphology Dimorphism (beards, capes, etc). We analyzed data from 244 primate species to investigate these traits and their interrelationships in a phylogenetic context. Natal coats were observed in 50% of the species. Using phylogenetic logistic regression, we found that 82% of species with hair morphology dimorphism and 84% of species with sexual dichromatism exhibited natal coats. In other words, species with some form of adult hair sexual dimorphism were more likely to have natal coats. Sexual dichromatism was present in 33% of species (partial and complete), with females lighter than males in 58% of these species. Among the 15 species with complete (full-body) dichromatism, only one had darker females. For partial dichromatism, no single body part was consistently affected across species. Hair morphology dimorphism was observed in 23% of species. In a focused analysis of 55 species with dimorphism, 23 displayed dimorphism exclusively on the head and face, 6 solely on the pubis, and dimorphism varied across affected body parts in the remaining species. Our research delivers a detailed trait-wise analysis across primate species, providing key insights that pave the way for future studies on both social signaling mechanisms and biological underpinnings of sexual dimorphism in primates.
