Adaptation in the vertebral column: a comparative study of patterns of metameric variation in seven species of small mammals

M Y Kida et al. J Anat. 1999 Feb.

Abstract

The pattern of variation of certain vertebral measurements along the vertebral column is known to differ in man and mouse. This paper investigates changes in this pattern in 7 species of small mammals and attempts to correlate them with locomotor adaptations and limb dimensions.
