Patellar shape diversity as a functional indicator of locomotor specialization in selected ruminant species.

Within small ruminants, a highly significant disparity was detected among Ovis aries , Capra hircus , and Capreolus capreolus (F2,176 = 38.59, p < 0.001), with Ovis aries showing the largest average centroid size (CS), followed by Capra hircus , while Capreolus capreolus consistently exhibited the smallest values.
