Mandible asymmetry and genetic diversity in island populations of the common shrew, Sorex araneus.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Mar 2008

White T A, Searle J B

Abstract excerpt

Mandibles from 13 island and six mainland populations of common shrews from the west coast of Scotland were subjected to geometric morphometric analysis in order to investigate the relationship between genetic diversity and fluctuating asymmetry. Although population mean shape fluctuating asymmetry (FA) and size FA were significantly inversely correlated with population genetic diversity this result was...
