The correlated response to 13 generations of selection for percent fatness and leanness is investigated in 11 mandible traits in mice. Five selection lines are examined including high fat (HF), low fat (LF), high lean (HL), low lean (LL) and randomly selected control strain (RC). The ontogenetic patterns of growth in the RC strain serve as a model to evaluate the developmental consequences of directional selection. Selection had systematically altered the patterns of mandible growth in selection lines relative to the control strain. Further, selection has significantly altered the age-specific phenotype covariance among these traits. In the HF strain, growth in the mandible is completed by 12 weeks of age for most traits. In other selected strains, notably LF and LL, there is a significant growth spurt that occurs between 12 and 15 weeks of age. Changes in the patterns of mandibular growth produce significant differences among strains in the final form of the mandible. Because of the changes in the patterns of growth, the difference among strains are themselves shown to vary at different postnatal ages. The phenotypically similar strains, i.e., HF and LL or LF and HL, show different but correlated patterns of divergence. Multivariate statistical analyses suggest that the temporal strain differences in these traits are multidimensional.
