Abstract excerpt
We combine the methods of geometric morphometrics and multivariate quantitative genetics to study the patterns of phenotypic and genetic variation of mandible shape in random-bred mice. The data are the positions of 11 landmarks on the mandibles of 1,241 mice from a parent-offspring breeding design. We use Procrustes superimposition to extract shape variation and restricted maximum likelihood to estimate the...
