Μορφολογική μελέτη της εγγύς ωλένης του Mesopithecus: Παλαιοοικολογικά συμπεράσματα

Ζωή Κυνηγοπούλου

Περίληψη


Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η μελέτη της εγγύς ωλένης του γένους Mesopithecus και η σύγκρισή της με σύγχρονα είδη, έτσι ώστε να προσδιοριστεί η κινητική του συμπεριφορά και κατ’ επέκταση το παλαιοπεριβάλλον. Για τον σκοπό αυτό μελετήθηκαν μορφολογικά χαρακτηριστικά της εγγύς ωλένης από απολιθώματα των Mesopithecus delsoni/pentelicus, Mesopithecus pentelicus και Mesopithecus aff. pentelicus. Σε αντίθεση με τα είδη που είναι γνωστά μόνο από τα απολιθώματά τους, ο τρόπος κίνησης των αρτίγονων ειδών είναι συνήθως γνωστός και επαρκώς προσδιορισμένος. Γι’ αυτό τον λόγο, κρίνεται απαραίτητη η σύγκριση των απολιθωμάτων με οστά που ανήκουν σε αρτίγονα είδη (Nakatsukasa 1994) της υποοικογένειας Colobinae. ...
