Abstract excerpt
The morphology of the larynx is essential for vocalization, respiration, and airway protection, yet the sources of phenotypic variation within species are not well understood. This study investigated whether genetic background exerts a stronger influence than environmental factors on laryngeal morphology in two house mouse strains. Using geometric morphometrics, we analyzed the size and shape of 79 laryngeal...
