New paper – Heritability in the vertebral column of the Rhesus macaque

New paper out in American Journal of Primatology as part of a special issue on the Cayo Santiago macaques. With my colleague Emily Middleton and lab member Jeziel Negrón, we found moderate to strong heritability of many aspects of vertebral anatomy. However, these vary by vertebral region. We also found significant size effects! You can find the paper here: https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.23686
