Skeletal ontogeny of Monodelphis domestica (Mammalia: Didelphidae) : quantifying variation, variability, and technique bias in ossification sequence reconstruction
The field of evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) focuses on understanding the evolution of ontogeny and mechanisms of evolutionary change. Recently, taxonomic comparisons of the sequence of skeletal ossification have become prominent in evo-devo. However, most of these studies fail to cons...
