The Genetic Basis of Baculum Size and Shape Variation in Mice

The Genetic Basis of Baculum Size and Shape Variation in Mice

The rapid divergence of male genitalia is a preeminent evolutionary pattern. This rapid divergence is especially striking in the baculum, a bone that occurs in the penis of many mammalian species. Closely related species often display diverse baculum morphology where no other morphological differenc...
