This study shows hybrid mice exhibit disrupted cephalo-pelvic covariation and reduced pelvic sexual dimorphism, suggesting these traits are genetically structured and sensitive to hybridization.

The paper examines whether energy costs of walking limited the evolution of a larger human birth canal by analyzing musculoskeletal models and locomotion efficiency.

The paper develops a statistical model to estimate developmental canalization from longitudinal phenotypic data and applies it to human craniofacial morphology, finding strong canalization in craniofacial size and nasopharynx dimensions but not in frontal sinus size.
