Abstract excerpt
Do morphogenetic processes cause common patterns of phenotypic covariation, and do those patterns evolve over microevolutionary timescales? Evolution of molar shape variance-covariance (P) matrixes was studied in five populations of the common shrew, Sorex araneus. P matrix evolution was assessed using matrix correlation, matrix disparity, and common principal component analysis (CPCA). Significant changes in...
