Analyses of morphological disparity have been used to characterize and investigate the
evolution of variation in the anatomy, function and ecology of organisms since the 1980s …

Species invasions are pervasive in Earth history, yet the ecological and evolutionary
consequences vary greatly. Ancient invasion events can be organized in a hierarchy of …

Multidimensional analysis of traits are now common in ecology and evolution and are based
on trait spaces in which each dimension summarizes the observed trait combination (a …

Abstract Biotic Immigration Events in which a group of organisms that originated in one
geographic region invade and become established in a new geographic region are common …

The incorporation of ecological processes into models of trait evolution is important for
understanding past drivers of evolutionary change. Species interactions have long been …

Niche conservation is not ubiquitous among all species or all environmental changes.
Identifying the underlying basis for variable species responses is important for conservation …

It has been argued that, throughout the Mesozoic, the immature growth forms of
megaherbivorous dinosaurs competitively excluded small herbivorous dinosaur species …

Parasitism is one of the most pervasive phenomena amongst modern eukaryotic life and yet,
relative to other biotic interactions, almost nothing is known about its history in deep time …

The set of environmental conditions under which a taxon can survive and maintain viable
populations, known as the ecological niche, is a fundamental determinant of a taxon's …

In this study, the relative niche stability of Late Ordovician articulate brachiopod species from
the Cincinnati Arch was analyzed before, during, and after an immigration of extra-basinal …
