Textural ageing in Pygoscelis antarctica (Aves, Sphenisciformes): a new comparative scale for penguin bones
Textural ageing is a technique that recognizes the bone texture as a clear indicator of the post-natal ontogenetic stages in birds. Although it was only tested in a few groups of birds, the results obtained in the pioneer works were widely applied. Though convinced of the effectiveness of this techn...
