One of the most important shifts in evolutionary biology in the past 50 years is an increased
recognition of sluggish evolution and failures to adapt, which seem paradoxical in view of …

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate of metabolism of a resting, postabsorptive, non-
reproductive, adult bird or mammal, measured during the inactive circadian phase at a …

We lack a comprehensive understanding of evolutionary pattern and process because short-
term and long-term data have rarely been combined into a single analytical framework. Here …

The variation among domestic dog breeds offers a unique opportunity to study large-scale
diversification by microevolutionary mechanisms. We use geometric morphometrics to …

The correlation between species diversification and morphological evolution has long been
of interest in evolutionary biology. We investigated the relationship between these …

Evolutionary theory has been extended almost continually since the evolutionary synthesis
(ES), but except for the much greater importance afforded genetic drift, the principal tenets of …

Body size correlates with virtually every aspect of species biology, so understanding the
tempo and mode of its evolution is of key importance in macroecology and macroevolution …

Insights into morphological diversification can be obtained from the ways the species of a
clade occupy morphospace. Projecting a phylogeny into morphospace provides estimates of …

Evolution is frequently concentrated in bursts of rapid morphological change and speciation
followed by long‐term stasis. We propose that this pattern of punctuated equilibria results …

Gaussian processes, a class of stochastic processes including Brownian motion and the
Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, are widely used to model continuous trait evolution in …
