15 p, 7.9 MB Bone histology of the Late Pleistocene Prolagus sardus (Lagomorpha: Mammalia) provides further insights into life-history strategy of insular giant small mammal / Fernández-Bejarano, Eva (Universidade da Coruña. Departamento de Física e Ciencias da Terra) ; Blanco, Alejandro (Universidade da Coruña.

Fossils provide an excellent opportunity to study and understand the evolution of insular environments free of human-made perturbations. Here, we evaluated the life-history traits and strategy of the extinct insular giant Prolagus sardus (Mammalia: Lagomorpha) by examining microscopically its fossilized bone tissues (osteohistology, skeletochronology, and quantitative geometry).

The island syndrome describes morphological, behavioral, and life history traits that evolve in parallel in endemic insular organisms. A basic axiom of the island syndrome is that insular endemics slow down their pace of life. [...]
We tested this question in the fossil insular giant leporid Nuralagus rex. Using bone histology, we constructed both a continental extant taxon model derived from experimentally fluorochrome-labeled Lepus europaeus to calibrate life history events, and a growth model for the insular taxon. [...]
