This book is focused on the principals and methods of using growth
layers formed in teeth and bones of mammals and to make a judgement
on essential traits of the animal's life history. Nearly in all
mammalian species including man, the age of individuals can be
determined from the number of growth layers and, at least in some
of them, it is possible to estimate the season of an animal's birth
and death, the age of sexual maturation, periodicity of
reproduction, certain feeding habits and other aspects of the
individual's biology. It is also possible, from tooth enamel
analysis, to assess dose of radiation accumulated by animals and
human beings during their lifetime. The book is intended mainly for
zoologists, wild-game biologists, and zoo-archaeologists, but some
of the sections can also be of interest for anthropologists,
radio-ecologists and conservation biologists.
