  abstract = {{T}he worldwide distributed house mouse, {M}us musculus, is subdivided into at least three lineages, {M}us musculus musculus, {M}us musculus domesticus, and {M}us musculus castaneus. {T}he subspecies occur parapatrically in a region considered to be the cradle of the species in {S}outhern {A}sia (central region), as well as in the rest of the world (peripheral region). {T}he morphological evolution of this species in a phylogeographical context is studied using a landmark-based approach on mandible morphology of different populations of the three lineages. {T}he morphological variation increases from central to peripheral regions at the population and subspecific levels, confirming a centrifugal sub-speciation within this species. {F}urthermore, the outgroup comparison with sister species suggests that {M}. musculus musculus and populations of all subspecies inhabiting the {I}ranian plateau have retained a more ancestral mandible morphology, suggesting that this region may represent one of the relevant places of the origin of the species. {M}us musculus castaneus, both from central and peripheral regions, is morphologically the most variable and divergent subspecies. {F}inally, the results obtained in the present study suggest that the independent evolution to commensalism in the three lineages is not accompanied by a convergence detectable on jaw morphology.},
