Abstract
Se realiza un estudio de correlación entre algunas dimensiones del
esqueleto, cuernas y edad del ciervo (Cervus elaphus hispanicus) de
Sierra Morena Oriental, y se aporta información preliminar sobre la
conformación general de las astas en esta zona. Para ello, se miden
las apófisis frontales, las mandíbulas y las astas de 135 ciervos caza
dos entre 1993 y 1997. La edad, que oscila entre los 18 y los 149
meses, se obtuvo a partir de cortes histológicos de molares (M1). Los
resultados obtenidos indican una alta correlación entre las medidas de
longitud mandibular, altura de apófisis frontales y astas, siendo tam
bién significativa la correlación con la edad. La correlación entre cada
rama de la cuerna, derecha e izquierda, fue estadísticamente signifi
cativa, aunque en mayor medida en lo referente al grosor que en lo
referente a la longitud o el número de puntas
Relationships between antlers, jaws and ages in Sierra Morena red deer. A correlation study is carried out involving some dimensions of the skeleton, antlers and the age of deer (Cervus elaphus hispanicus) from eastern Sierra Morena, bringing a preliminary information on the gene ral conformation of antlers in this area. Frontal apofisis, jaws and ant lers of 135 deer hunted between 1993 and 1997 were used. Age ran ged between 18 and 149 months, and was estimated using histologi cal preparations of the first lower molar (M1 ). Results show a high co rrelation between jaw length measurements, frontal apofisis height and antlers, being significant the correlation with age. Correlation between left and right antlers were signifcant, but stronger for thickness than for length measurements.
