Size Effects of the Viscerocranium Shape and Neurocranium Centroid Size QTL

(A and C) Boxplots depicting the distribution of normalized size-corrected viscerocranium PC1 (A) and normalized neurocranium centroid size (C) for 11 loci linked with body size and skull shape. Distributions are subdivided by genotype —homozygous ancestral (AA), heterozygotes (AD), and homozygous derived (DD). ^∗∗∗ denotes p < 0.001 in Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests.

(B and D) A stepwise linear regression model for viscerocranium PC1 (B) and neurocranium centroid (D) determined the best explanatory model for ancestral (left) and derived (right) genotypes for each positional candidate.
