概要 We analysed the variability of the lower cheek teeth of the Japanese serow, Capricornis crispus, from Aichi Prefecture, Japan, based on the coefficient of variation (CV), and examined tooth size variability. The mesiodistal (MD) and buccolingual (BL) crown diameters of permanent cheek teeth were measured, and an index of the crown surface (MD × BL) was calculated. As a result, the CV for MD measurements ranged from 3.6 to 6.3, and that for BL measurements ranged from 3.6 to 6.5. In males and females, the first molar (M1) was the least variable (3.6–4.1) and the second premolar (P2) was the most variable (5.0–6.5), except for the case of BL in females. The crown surface index showed a morphological gradient that increased from mesial to distal, and the values of P2 in both sexes were extremely small.
