Developmental bias and evolution: a regulatory network perspective
A recurrent theme in evolutionary biology is to contrast natural selection and developmental
constraint–two forces pitted against each other as competing explanations for organismal …

Intense natural selection preceded the invasion of new adaptive zones during the radiation of New World leaf-nosed bats
The family Phyllostomidae, which evolved in the New World during the last 30 million years,
represents one of the largest and most morphologically diverse mammal families. Due to its …

Evolution of morphological integration in the skull of Carnivora (Mammalia): changes in Canidae lead to increased evolutionary potential of facial traits
Morphological integration refers to the fact that different phenotypic traits of organisms are
not fully independent from each other, and tend to covary to different degrees. The …

Behavioural syndromes shape evolutionary trajectories via conserved genetic architecture
Behaviours are often correlated within broader syndromes, creating the potential for
evolution in one behaviour to drive evolutionary changes in other behaviours. Despite …
