Associated materials - "Insular dwarfism in horses from the Aegean Sea and the Japanese Archipelago" - Mammalian Biology Project ID: 000598941 Public
25 Media · 18 Specimens · Creator: Le Verger, Kévin · Managed by: Kévin Le Verger

The horse (Equus caballus) varieties from Skyros and Rhodes islands (Greece) in the Aegean archipelago and from the Japanese archipelago are extremely small. We investigated the evolutionary morphology and provided a review of historical documentations of these horses of cultural interest in Greece and Japan, thus providing a comparison of the independent evolution of small size in islands through their cranium, braincase, and inner ear. The present project corresponds to the related materail to the study published in Mammalian Biology (https://doi.org/10.1007/s42991-024-00408-4). The material will be made fully available no later than 1 year after publication of the study. If you have any urgent requests or issues accessing the specimens, please email me at kevin.leverger@pim.uzh.ch.
