The first edition of Geometric Morphometrics for Biologists has been the primary resource for
teaching modern geometric methods of shape analysis to biologists who have a stronger …

It has long been unclear whether the different derived cranial traits of modern humans
evolved independently in response to separate selection pressures or whether they resulted …

Complex organismal structures are organized into modules, suites of traits that develop,
function, and vary in a coordinated fashion. By limiting or directing covariation among …

Le décryptage du génome humain n'a pas levé le secret sur nos origines et notre devenir:
voici pourquoi la complexité et la multiplicité demeurent nécessaires à toute avancée …

Abstract Theory predicts that correlational selection on two traits will cause the major axis of
the bivariate G matrix to orient itself in the same direction as the correlational selection …

Modular variation, whereby the relative degree of connectivity varies within a system, is
thought to evolve through a process of selection that favors the integration of certain traits …

Most studies in evolutionary developmental biology focus on large-scale evolutionary
processes using experimental or molecular approaches, whereas evolutionary quantitative …

The independent evolution of similar morphologies has long been a subject of considerable
interest to biologists. Does phenotypic convergence reflect the primacy of natural selection …

A fundamental challenge of morphology is to identify the underlying evolutionary and
developmental mechanisms leading to correlated phenotypic characters. Patterns and …

Evolutionary quantitative genetic theory integrates two fundamental relationships: the
individual fitness surface, summarizing the pattern of covariance between multiple traits and …
