In order to understand the role of genetic variation in morphological evolution, it is important to understand the genetic architecture of morphological traits because different genetic architectures can have varied effects on evolutionary responses to selection and genetic drift. Aspects of genetic architecture include number and size of gene effects, dominance, epistasis, and pleiotropy.

520 $a In order to understand the role of genetic variation in morphological evolution, it is important to understand the genetic architecture of morphological traits because different genetic architectures can have varied effects on evolutionary responses to selection and genetic drift. Aspects of genetic architecture include number and size of gene effects, dominance, epistasis, and pleiotropy.
520 $a Pleiotropy is predicted to evolve so that functionally and developmentally related traits are influenced by specific loci that differ for different functional sets. When aspects of functional systems evolve in concert, adaptive evolution is facilitated. Thus, the evolution of development is predicted to result in a nested hierarchy of gene effects reflecting the nested hierarchy of functional and/or developmental processes. I have undertaken a comprehensive survey of pleiotropic patterns affecting mouse skeletal morphology, using quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis on seventy traits throughout the skeleton, including aspects of several modules at various levels of morphological hierarchy, in order to elucidate the evolved genetic architecture of skeletal morphology and the consequences of this architecture for evolutionary processes.
