Using a mouse model to understand the effect of hybridization on skeletal and pelage trait variation in mammalian hybrids

Hybridization is thought to have played an important role in human evolution, with hybridizing groups having significant differences in soft tissue trait variation. Ectodermal trait variation is of interest because primate hybrids show increased atypical non-metric dental and cranial trait variation...
