Labelling experiments in red deer provide a general model for early bone growth dynamics in ruminants
Abstract Growth rates importantly determine developmental time and are, therefore, a key variable of a species' life history. A widely used method to reconstruct growth rates and to estimate age at death in extant and particularly in fossil vertebrates is the analysis of bone tissue apposition...
