| Age determination of Iberian lynx (_Lynx pardinus_) using canine radiograph and cementum annuli enumeration | |
| 1997 Zeitschrift fr Sugetierkunde (62): 119-123 | |
Age estimation of individuals is necessary to assess population dynamics and to help managers in the conservation of endangered populations. Two methods are commonly used to determine the age of carnivores: counting of cementum annuli (CCA) and measurement of canine pulp cavity (CPC). The aim of the present study was to determine the feasibility of these complementary age techniques for the endangered Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus). The age of closure of canine apical foramen will be also estimated. |
