Книга знакомит читателей с основными методами определения возраста
млекопитающих и дает возможность любому исследователю определить возраст …

Bergmann's rule, which proposes a heat‐balance explanation for the observed latitudinal
gradient of increasing animal body size with increasing latitude, has dominated the study of …

There are only a few recent studies that have demonstrated senescence in ungulates and
nothing is known regarding how patterns of senescence may vary as a function of density …

We used observations of known-age, free-ranging spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) from a
large social group to develop age-estimation models. A model based on tooth-eruption data …

The ability to accurately assign adult white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) to specific
year age-classes is important in making management decisions and interpreting …

In ungulates, tooth wear is often suggested as a proximate cause of senescence. Tooth wear
is expected to be sex-dependent since energetic requirements and food selection varies …

Mortality profiles can be used to investigate modes of accumulation of fossil assemblages,
including predation by ancient nonhuman and human (Homo) hunters. Prey age at death …

Knowing the age of individuals is crucial for almost any analysis of population dynamics,
evolution, palaeontology, management and conservation. The aim of this study was to …

Aging individuals is a prerequisite to many studies in wildlife biology. In mammals, the most
accurate methods are based on cement lines analysis and require tooth extraction. Here, we …

Fossil hominid morphology, archaeology, and genetics indicate that in Europe 30,000–
40,000 years ago, anatomically modern humans and their Upper Paleolithic industries …
