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. Departamento de Física e Ciencias da Terra) ; Angelone, Chiara (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Zhang, Zhaoqun (Chinese Academy of Sciences.

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).

23 p, 30.3 MB Histological variability in the limb bones of the Asiatic wild ass and its significance for life history inferences / Nacarino-Meneses, Carmen (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Jordana Comín, Xavier (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Köhler, Meike (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
The study of bone growth marks (BGMs) and other histological traits of bone tissue provides insights into the life history of present and past organisms. Important life history traits like longevity or age at maturity, which could be inferred from the analysis of these features, form the basis for estimations of demographic parameters that are essential in ecological and evolutionary studies of vertebrates.
