Linking the investigations of character evolution and species diversification
K Magnuson-Ford, SP Otto - The American Naturalist, 2012 - journals.uchicago.edu
Variation in diversification rates is often studied by investigating traits related to species'
ecology and life history. Often, however, it is unknown whether these traits evolve gradually …

Interspecific variation in primate coat colour supports Gloger's rule
JM Kamilar, BJ Bradley - Journal of Biogeography, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Aim In 1833, CL Gloger observed that bird populations living in warm and wet
habitats were darker than those found in dry, cool areas. However, this hypothesis has …
