An Attempt to Determine the Size of Biometric Differences in the Skull of Two Colour Variants of American Mink (Neovison vison)

This study aimed at answering the question whether production of new colour variants of American mink in mink farms using mutations may entail changes in skull morphology and relationships between the bone elements building it. Analyses were made on the skulls of 56 eight-month-old males and females...
