“…The vast majority of the research on patterns of integration and covariation in hominoids are focused on the skull (e.g., Ackermann, 2002; Bastir, 2008; Bastir et al, 2005; Bookstein et al, 2003; Bruner, Pereira‐Pedro, & Bastir, 2017; Mitteroecker & Bookstein, 2008; Neaux et al, 2018; Profico et al, 2017; Püschel, Friess, & Manríquez, 2020; Scott et al, 2018; Singh, Harvati, Hublin, & Klingenberg, 2012; Stelzer, Gunz, Neubauer, & Spoor, 2018), but studies investigating integration and covariation within and between elements of the torso are scarce (Arlegi et al, 2020; Grabowski et al, 2011; Huseynov et al, 2017; Lewton, 2012; Middleton, 2015; Torres‐Tamayo et al, 2018; C. V. Ward et al, 2015). Among those, Middleton (2015) quantified and compared for the first time trunk relationships between H. sapiens and Pan collecting linear metrics and 3D coordinates on disarticulated trunk skeletal elements.…”
