3D Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Calcaneal Morphology in Domestic Caprinae: Sheep (<i>Ovis aries</i>) and Goat (<i>Capra hircus</i>)

3D Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Calcaneal Morphology in Domestic Caprinae: Sheep (<i>Ovis aries</i>) and Goat (<i>Capra hircus</i>)

The calcaneus plays a critical role in balance, locomotion, and muscle attachment, making it a key structure for biomechanical adaptations. This study examined interspecies differences between sheep and goats, as well as intraspecies variations among different sheep breeds, in calcaneus morphology....
