Quantifying integration and modularity of evolutionary changes in morphometric traits is
crucial for understanding how organismal shapes evolve. For this purpose, comparative …

Morphological integration and modularity have become central concepts in evolutionary
biology and geometric morphometrics. This review summarizes the most frequently used …

Allometry is a major determinant of within-population patterns of association among traits
and, therefore, a major component of morphological integration studies. Even so, the …

Birth is significantly more complicated and dangerous in modern humans than in other great
apes. This disparity is often hypothesized to be the result of evolutionary constraints on …

Hominins that differ from Homo erectus, the Neanderthals, and recent humans are known
from Middle Pleistocene localities across the Old World. The taxonomic status of these …

The study of modularity can provide a foundation for integrating development into studies of
phenotypic evolution. The dentition is an ideal phenotype for this as it is developmentally …

Craniofacial and neural tissues develop in concert throughout prenatal and postnatal
growth. FGFR‐related craniosynostosis syndromes, such as Apert syndrome (AS), are …

Phenotypic integration and plasticity are central to our understanding of how complex
phenotypic traits evolve. Evolutionary change in complex quantitative traits can be predicted …

Ontogeny is an important source of morphological changes. The combination of size and
shape analyses throughout ontogeny helps us to better understand the importance of size …

The goal of the present study was to examine group structure, reproductive success and
individual growth and development to assess two sympatric Saguinus spp. These data are …
