Antlers grow from the pedicles, protrusions of the posterior lateral area of the frontal bone, which is a part of the skull. Therefore, to determine the true branching structure of the antler, it is necessary to know how it is positioned on the skull; that is, to clarify the relative ...
Water consumption, thyroid hormone function, behavioral responses, and skull and jawbone measurements were compared among treatments. Additionally, liver, spleen, genital, and brain imidacloprid concentrations were determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results indicated that 1) control...
e. atlanticus), but this is not supported in more recent analyses based on skull morphology [12] or molecular phylogenetics [13, 14]. Norwegian deer are, nevertheless, differentiated both morphologically and genetically from Swedish and Danish populations and seem more closely related to Scottish ...

For bear harvests, hunters are also asked to save the skull or lower jaw for the DEC to collect a tooth to age the bear. They will either contact you to arrange collection of the tooth or will send you a packet with instructions for collecting the tooth and a return envelope. ...
The H1 antler MBC metric is the genesis of new antler growth from the pedicle atop the skull plate, and therefore it should be the strongest, most resistant to damage and injury, resulting in the most symmetric measurement as we observed in both age groups. This may explain the lack of ...
