The number of published studies using geometric morphometrics (GM) for analysing
biological shape has increased steadily since the beginning of the 1990s, covering multiple …

Using sampling experiments, we found that, when there are fewer groups than variables,
between-groups PCA (bgPCA) may suggest surprisingly distinct differences among groups …

Mammals (class Mammalia) have evolved diverse craniofacial morphology to adapt to a
wide range of ecological niches. However, the genetic and developmental mechanisms …

To test the effects of domestication on craniofacial skeletal morphology, we used three-
dimensional geometric morphometrics (GM) along with linear and endocranial …

Beak shape in Darwin's ground finches (Geospiza) is emblematic of natural selection and
adaptive radiation, yet our understanding of the genetic basis of beak shape variation, and …

An increasing number of mammalian species have been shown to have a history of
hybridization and introgression based on genetic analyses. Only relatively few fossils …

Mimetic systems allow us to address the question of whether the same genes control similar
phenotypes in different species. Although widespread parallels have been found for major …

Evolution has devised countless remarkable solutions to diverse challenges. Understanding
the mechanistic basis of these solutions provides insights into how biological systems can …

Hybridization occurs in a number of mammalian lineages, including among primate taxa.
Analyses of ancient genomes have shown that hybridization between our lineage and other …

Laboratory mice are staples for evo/devo and genetics studies. Inbred strains provide a
uniform genetic background to manipulate and understand gene–environment interactions …
