The genetics of morphological and behavioural island traits in deer mice

2018-10-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Animals on islands often exhibit dramatic differences in morphology and behaviour compared to mainland individuals, a phenomenon known as the “island syndrome”. These differences are thought to be adaptations to island environments, but the extent to which they have a genetic basis or instead represent plastic responses to environmental extremes is often unknown. Here, we revisit a classic case...
