Impacts of genetic correlation on the independent evolution of body mass and skeletal size in mammals

BACKGROUND: Mammals show a predictable scaling relationship between limb bone size and body mass. This relationship has a genetic basis which likely evolved via natural selection, but it is unclear how much the genetic correlation between these traits in turn impacts their capacity to evolve indepen...
