Quantitative genetic analysis of brain size variation in sticklebacks: support for the mosaic model of brain evolution.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jul 2015

Abstract excerpt

The mosaic model of brain evolution postulates that different brain regions are relatively free to evolve independently from each other. Such independent evolution is possible only if genetic correlations among the different brain regions are less than unity. We estimated heritabilities, evolvabilities and genetic correlations of relative size of the brain, and its different regions in the three-spined...
