Adaptive radiations are defined as rapid diversification with phenotypic innovation led by
colonization to new environments. Notably, adaptive radiations can occur in parallel when …

In recent years, the fields of evolutionary biomechanics and morphology have developed
into a deeply quantitative and integrative science, resulting in a much richer understanding …

Quantitative analyses of morphological variation using geometric morphometrics are often
performed on 2D photos of 3D structures. It is generally assumed that the error due to the …

Many studies have shown a correlation between postcranial anatomy and locomotor
behavior in mammals, but the postcrania of small mammals (< 5 kg) is often considered to …

Cranial morphology is remarkably varied in living amniotes and the diversity of shapes is
thought to correspond with feeding ecology, a relationship repeatedly demonstrated at …

Most of over 1400 extant bat species produce high-frequency pulses with their larynx for
echolocation. However, the debate about the evolutionary origin of laryngeal echolocation in …

Goodwin's brush‐tailed mouse (Calomyscus elburzensis Goodwin, 1939) is a poorly known
small rodent that occupies rocky habitats in Iran, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan …

Os morcegos são um dos grupos mais diversos de mamíferos, tanto em número de
espécies quanto em diversidade de hábitos e formas. Dentre as diferentes especializações …

Recent methodological advances have led to a rapid expansion of evolutionary studies
employing three‐dimensional landmark‐based geometric morphometrics (GM). GM …
