| This study, based on a 48 Xisqueta skull samples, gives a statistical insight of the skull shape in this breed. Thirty eight measurements and eight indexes were recorded. The variance structure was done using a Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This was possible sequel to the application and permission of the covariance matrix. The mean length of the skulls was found to be 265.51±22.24 mm, with the width and cephalic index to the magnitude of 117.2 ± 6.89 mm and 44.69 ± 4.29 mm, respectively. The viscerocranium length was 143.07±9.74 mm thus indicating a similar portion with the neurocranium part of the skull (137.17 ± 6.25 mm). The orbit was slightly almond shaped. Variability was generally high within parameters but parameter variation was less in... |
