Developmental variability channels mouse molar evolution

Developmental variability channels mouse molar evolution

Do developmental systems preferentially produce certain types of variation that orient phenotypic evolution along preferred directions? At different scales, from the intra-population to the interspecific, the murine first upper molar shows repeated anterior elongation. Using a novel quantitative app...
