Developmental instability and phenotypic evolution in a small and isolated bear population.

Biology letters - 1 Apr 2021

Loy A, Ciucci P, Guidarelli G, Roccotelli E, Colangelo P

Abstract excerpt

We explored fluctuating asymmetry (FA) and morphological integration (MI) in the skull of the small, highly inbred and divergent Apennine bear (Ursus arctos marsicanus), to explore its uniqueness and investigate any potential effects of inbreeding depression. We used 3D geometric morphometrics contrasting Apennine bears with other two large outbred bear populations from Scandinavia and Kamchatka as controls....
