• The long and winding road: identifying pig domestication through molar size and shape (2013, background): “Geography is another factor of phenotypic variability within wild boar (e.g. Groves, 1981; Albarella et al., 2009).”
• Distinguishing Wild Boar from Domestic Pigs in Prehistory: A Review of Approaches and Recent Results (2012, background): “In contrast to the Irish boar, the Cypriot, Okinawan and Izu boar subsequently reduced in size (modern Okinawan wild boar are the world’s smallest), but a review of wild boar sizes across the Old World shows that this follows the expected pattern: wild boar become smaller on small islands like Okina”
