Functional traits are frequently used to evaluate plant adaptation across environments. Yet,
traits tend to have multiple functions and interactions, which cannot be accounted for in …

Specialization in plant–pollinator relationships is a core concept in discussions of plant
evolution and ecology; it is central to our thinking, not just about the ecology of plant …

We present mvmorph, a package of multivariate phylogenetic comparative methods for the r
statistical environment. mvmorph is freely available on the cran package repository …

Variation in the architecture of trait networks among ecosystems has been rarely quantified,
but can provide high resolution of the contrasting adaptation of the whole phenotype. We …

The degree to which developmental biases affect trait evolution is subject to much debate.
Here, we first quantify fluctuating asymmetry as a measure of developmental variability, ie …

Phenotypic integration and modularity are ubiquitous features of complex organisms,
describing the magnitude and pattern of relationships among biological traits. A key …

Evolutionary morphologists frequently wish to understand the extent to which organisms are
integrated, and whether the strength of morphological integration among subsets of …

We present a novel perspective on life‐history evolution that combines recent theoretical
advances in fluctuating density‐dependent selection with the notion of pace‐of‐life …

Premise of Study In a seminal body of theory, Lloyd showed that the fitness consequences of
selfing will depend on its timing in anthesis. Selfing that occurs after opportunities for …
