Informatic application to characterise and identify small mammal species: Arvicolinae (Cricetidae, Rodentia, Mammalia) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe classification of rodent species can be challenging due to high morphological similarities observed among them. This problem is further increased in palaeontological systematics, where classification is traditionally based on the molar morphology ...
