| الوصف: | The aim of the study: to measure foramen magnum and to evaluate the sex and species differences. Material and Methods. Sixty four skulls were examined including 32 skulls of raccoon dogs (16 males and 16 females) and 32 skulls of foxes (16 males and 16 females). Using the method suggested by A. von den Driesch (1976), the height and breadth of foramen magnum was measured. The index of foramen magnum was calculated using V. Onar (1997) formula and the area of foramen magnum was calculated by D. Jain (2014) formulae (Routal and Teixeira). The obtained data were processed using the descriptive statistics (n, X, σ, min, and max). The statistical significance of the differences was evaluated by Student‘s t-test. The data were considered significant when p<0.05. Results. Comparison of the measurements, index and area of foramen magnum in males and females of raccoon dogs showed no statistically significant differences. Statistically significant differences neither were observed between the foramen magnum of males and females of red foxes. Meanwhile, comparison of species showed significant differences. All investigated measurements of foramen magnum (height, width, index, and area) of red fox males were bigger than those of male raccoon dogs; the differences were discriminate, i.e. highly significant (P<0.001). Yet the difference of the index of foramen magnum was of low significance (P<0.05). Comparable results were obtained by comparison of the data obtained on females: the breadth, height and area of foramen magnum in red female foxes were bigger than in female raccoon dogs (P<0.001) yet the difference of the index of foramen magnum was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). Conclusions: 1. The size and form of foramen magnum in males and females of raccoon dogs and red foxes showed no differences. 2. Foramen magnum of red foxes is bigger than that of raccoon dogs yet the form differences are negligible. |
