Sexual dimorphism and phenotypic plasticity in a subtropical feral bovid <i>Bos taurus</i> (Artiodactyla: Bovidae).

2025-02-12

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypes reflect how organisms adapt to their environments. Hong Kong (HK) feral cattle, a crossbreed of Bos taurus taurus and Bos taurus indicus , present an opportunity to study these adaptations in one of the very few global cattle populations not directly controlled by humans. These cattle are free-ranging since their release from farms in the 1970s. HK has a subtropical climate, characterized by high humi...
