Discrete genetic modules are responsible for complex burrow evolution in Peromyscus mice.

Nature - 17 Jan 2013

Weber Jesse N, Peterson Brant K, Hoekstra Hopi E

Abstract excerpt

Relative to morphological traits, we know little about how genetics influence the evolution of complex behavioural differences in nature. It is unclear how the environment influences natural variation in heritable behaviour, and whether complex behavioural differences evolve through few genetic changes, each affecting many aspects of behaviour, or through the accumulation of several genetic changes that, when...
