Evolution and function of horns and hornlike organs in female ungulates - KILTIE - 2008 - Biological Journal of the Linnean Society - Wiley Online Library

Evolution and function of horns and hornlike organs in female ungulates - KILTIE - 2008 - Biological Journal of the Linnean Society - Wiley Online Library: "Here I examine (1) the taxonomic distribution of horns and hornlike organs in females and evidence on the evolutionary history of the trait; (2) behavioural evidence on the uses of horns and hornlike organs by females and socio-ecological correlations with female hornedness or hornlessness; and (3) evidence on the role of genes and hormones in controlling the expression of female horns"
