Morphological Integration in the Saddle-Back Tamarin (Saguinus fuscicollis) Cranium

摘要: Quantitative genetic theory predicts that functionally and developmentally related characters will be morphologically integrated tend to inherited together. Furthermore, coinheritance environmental integration of may important in facilitating adaptive evolution. The hypothesis features the cranium are phenotypically, genetically, environmentally saddle-back tamarin (Saguinus fuscicollis) is tested. Thirty-nine craniofacial measurements were taken on 209 animals from Oak Ridge Associated Universities' Marmoset Research Center. Heritabilities phenotypic, genetic, correlations calculated using maximum likelihood methods after data corrected for sex specified effects. correlation matrices compared a series theoretical intertrait connectivities representing expected patterns morphological Mantel...
