Lineage‐specific traits determine how plants interact with their surrounding environment.
Unrelated species may evolve similar phenotypic characteristics to tolerate, persist in, and …

Plant adaptation to drought facilitates major ecological transitions, and will likely play a vital
role under looming climate change. Mycorrhizas, ie strategic associations between plant …

Estimates of diversification rates at the tips of a phylogeny provide a flexible approach for
correlation analyses with multiple traits and to map diversification rates in space while also …

The evolution of annual or perennial strategies in flowering plants likely depends on a broad
array of temperature and precipitation variables. Previous documented climate life‐history …

The correlated evolution of multiple characters is a crucial aspect of evolutionary change. If
change in a particular character influences the evolution of a separate trait, then modeling …

Plant–herbivore interactions reciprocally influence species' evolutionary trajectories. These
interactions have led to many physical and chemical defenses across the plant kingdom …

Sexual selection is thought to be a major driver of phenotypic diversity and diversification in
animals, but large-scale evolutionary patterns in sexually selected (SS) traits remain largely …

Arboreality has evolved in all major vertebrate lineages and is often associated with
morphological adaptations and increased diversification concomitant with accessing novel …

Estimating how traits evolved and impacted diversification across the tree of life represents a
critical topic in ecology and evolution. Although there has been considerable research in …

Understanding the evolution of eusociality in insects has been a long-standing and
unsolved challenge in evolutionary biology. For decades, it has been suggested that …
