The influence of island evolution on size-shape relationships in the anatomy of sheep, goats and their relatives

University College London

Department of Cell and Developmental Biology

The relationship between anatomical form and body size (allometry) is a fundamental concept in anatomy. Size-shape relationships can be studied across development (ontogenetic allometry), between adults of the same species (static allometry), or between species within a larger clade (evolutionary allometry).
