Fig 18. Tapir tooth wear–quantitative measures and macrowear score.

Fig 18

Correlations between quantitative wear measures and subjective macrowear score of maxillary cheek teeth in three tapir species (A) relative loph distance (RLD) and Macrowear score; (B) added relative loph length (aRLL) and Macrowear score; (C) added relative loph width (aRLW) and Macrowear score; White rectangle = P2; White triangle = P3; White circle = P4; Grey diamond = M1; Grey rectangle = M2; Grey triangle = M3. Spearman’s correlations: (A) T. terrestris: n = 268, R = -0.84, P<0.001; T. bairdii: n = 35, R = -0.92, P<0.001; T. indicus: n = 88, R = -0.86, P<0.001; (B) T. terrestris: n = 267, R = 0.81, P<0.001; T. bairdii: n = 34, R = 0.92, P<0.001; T. indicus: n = 86, R = 0.76, P<0.001; (C) T. terrestris: n = 271, R = 0.93, P<0.001; T. bairdii: n = 34, R = 0.93, P<0.001; T. indicus: n = 89, R = 0.92, P<0.001.
