Postnatal Variation of Limb Bones in the Japanese Quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica

Changes in body size over ontogeny may influence the ontogenetic development of long bones, and thus important to our understanding of variation in morphological, physiological, and life-history traits within species. In this study, we sample the entire measurements of the Japanese quail (Coturnix c...
