Abstract excerpt
The hypothesis that the hypoglossal canal bridging or double (HGCD), a nonmetric cranial trait, is a powerful discriminator between populations (Dodo, 1980, 1987) is still controversial. To examine this issue, the incidences of HGCD were investigated in six inbred mice strains (CBA, C57BL, BALB/c, Strong A, NZB, and DAB) and one group of wild mice, six matings of CBA and C57BL, and four experimental diet groups....
