Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the shape of the male and female New Zealand Rabbit cranium. For this purpose, geometric morphometry method was used. A total of 10 female and 10 male New Zealand Rabbit craniums were used. The skulls were photographed in a dorsal, ventral and lateral view, and the mandible was photographed in a lateral view. Homologous landmarks were marked on the photographs. Consensus graphs were created by TpsRelw (Version 1.70) program. Additionally, principal component analysis and relative warp analysis were performed. As a result of the study, principal components explained 34.813%, 57.225% and 42.427% of the total shape difference in the dorsal, ventral and lateral views of the skull, respectively. In the first principal component graph obtained as a result of principal component analysis, no significant clustering was observed between in gender. According to the graphics obtained in the MorphoJ program, inter-individual variation was detected mostly in the viscerocranium, followed by the neurocranium. We believe that this study will contribute to morphological and archaeological studies on rabbit skulls.
