Fourier analysis of vertebral shape change due to growth and selection for large and small body size

Fourier analysis of videodigitised outlines of mouse vertebrae from two stocks, a pseudo-longitudinal series of mice aged 25-60 days and one selected for large or small body size over many generations shows that the shape changes due to normal growth are not similar to those produced by selection fo...
