Getting long in the tooth: a strong positive correlation between canine size and heterozygosity in Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Hoffman Joseph I, Hanson Nora, Forcada Jaume, Trathan Phil N, Amos William

Abstract excerpt

Most studies of heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFCs) in natural populations relate to fitness traits expressed early in life, whereas traits that are often more difficult to measure such as longevity and adult body size remain elusive. Teeth provide a window on an individual's life history,...
