Despite only comprising seven species, extant sea turtles (Cheloniidae and
Dermochelyidae) display great ecological diversity, with most species inhabiting a unique …

Turtles have a highly modified body plan, including a rigid shell that constrains postcranial
anatomy. Skull morphology and neck mobility may therefore be key to ecological …

Resource use and phylogeny are often correlated with morphological variation. Moreover,
because biological shapes are often complex and evolve depending on several internal …

Variation in trophic morphology among individuals within a population may suggest
intrapopulation variation in diet and resource use. In such situations, individuals may occupy …

We investigated phenotypic diversification in the species-rich and ecologically diverse turtle
families Emydidae and Geoemydidae. In particular, we were interested in whether these …

Turtles (Testudinata) are a diverse group of reptiles that conquered a broad set of habitats
and feeding ecologies over the course of their well‐documented evolutionary history. We …

Many marine organisms (invertebrates, fishes) produce large numbers of small offspring
(larvae) that differ in appearance and behavior from adults. That outcome occurs because …

Repeated patterns of phenotypic divergence between environments across disparate taxa
provide strong evidence for the generation of adaptive phenotypes. Flow velocity is an …

Within delphinoid cetaceans, snout shape is significantly correlated to diet, with long-
