Figure 2

Evolutionary changes in body mass and tibia length. Least squared means of cube root body mass (top) and tibia length (bottom) by sex over 14 generations of selective breeding for increased tibia length in Longshanks 1 (blue), Longshanks 2 (red) and control mice (black). LS means are adjusted for covariation with litter size and age at measurement. Shaded areas indicate standard deviations. Control mice were measured only in generations indicated by a solid black circle. Dotted lines in the control mice represent missing values from generations in which the control line was not measured.
