A phylogenetic reconstruction of the Neotropical electric fish genus Hypopygus based on 47
parsimony-informative morphological characters is presented. A series of synapomorphies …

Aim Species–body size distributions (SBDs) are plots of species richness across body size
classes. They have been linked to energetic constraints, speciation–extinction dynamics and …

A population of dwarf cisco in Minnesota was studied in native and transplant environments.
Life history characters were recorded and the stability of meristics and morphometrics of the …

How are scientific explanations possible in ecology, given that there do not appear to be
many—if any—ecological laws? To answer this question, I present and defend an account of …

The synergic relationship between physiology, ecology, and evolutionary process makes the
body-size distribution (BSD) an essential component of the community ecology. Body size is …

Evolutionary prospection is the study of morphological evolution and speciation in
calcareous plankton from selected time-slices and key sites in the world oceans. In this …

Fourier analysis applied to the outlines of the first upper and lower molars of European
Miocene murine rodents was used to quantify the size and shape variations associated with …

For numerous shelly invertebrates, Cope's rule is shown in this paper to merely describe the
particular case where volume increase is strictly coupled with diameter or length …

We show that the relationship between variance in population energy use and variance in
species abundance depends critically on the model of causal relationships among …

Variability in the test of Globorotalia menardii during the past 8 million years has been
investigated at DSDP Site 502A (Caribbean Sea) and DSDP Site 503A (Eastern Equatorial …
