Description
Dwarfed insular mammals are of significant interest to evolutionary biology because of their morphological and physiological adaptations triggered by variables inherent to geographical isolation. One life history trait that is expected to be modified in relation to body size reduction is extended longevity facilitated by ecological parameters such as predator and competitor release and fluctuating resource availability. However, systematic examination of longevity in extreme cases of dwarfism...[Show more]
