Sexual selection and the rodent baculum: an intraspecific study in the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus).

Genetica - 1 Jan 2010

Ramm Steven A, Khoo Lin, Stockley Paula

Abstract excerpt

The rapid divergence of genitalia is a pervasive trend in animal evolution, thought to be due to the action of sexual selection. To test predictions from the sexual selection hypothesis, we here report data on the allometry, variation, plasticity and condition dependence of baculum morphology in the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus). We find that that baculum size: (a) exhibits no consistent pattern of...
