Developmental origin underlies evolutionary rate variation across the placental skull
The placental skull has evolved into myriad forms, from longirostrine whales to globular
primates, and with a diverse array of appendages from antlers to tusks. This disparity has …

Linking shape conspicuous asymmetry with shape covariation patterns and performance in the insect head and mandibles
Bilateral symmetry is widespread across animals, yet, among bilaterians, many cases of
conspicuous asymmetries evolved. This means that bilaterally homologous structures on the …
