Dear Gerhard,
While you mention this University of Munich DVM thesis,I wonder if it is possible to purchase “Munich theses”. Perhaps there is a catalogue? Are they available on the internet and/or as pdfs? I am fortunate in possessing quite a number and find many of them extremely useful – in part because they contain much useful data (especially measurements and figures).
Best

Ammotragus lervia
Dear Sara,
the most comprehensive paper on Ammotragus osteology has been given by K.-O. Gabler (1985): Osteologische Unterscheidungsmerkmale am postkranialen Skelett zwischen Mähnenspringer (Ammotragus lervia), Hausschaf (Ovis aries) und Hausziege (Capra hircus). Unpublished DVM thesis, Veterinary Faculty, University Munich.
Written in German language, the thesis provides very detailed data on postcranial morphology, fine line-drawings, due to a broad metrical data set also good informations on sexual dimorphism, but no data on tooth wear or epiphyseal closings.
Regards,
Gerhard

Betreff: [ZOOARCH] Ammotragus lerviaI am looking for general information about modern Ammotragus lervia with a specific focus on the fusion or tooth wear data, sexual dimorphism and distinguishing between distal metatarsal/metacarpal epiphysis. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
