Chemical signaling glands are unlinked to species diversification in lizards
Sexual selection has long been thought to increase species diversification. Sexually
selected traits, such as sexual signals that contribute to reproductive isolation, were thought …

Evaluating the accuracy of methods for detecting correlated rates of molecular and morphological evolution
Determining the link between genomic and phenotypic change is a fundamental goal in
evolutionary biology. Insights into this link can be gained by using a phylogenetic approach …

Genomic investigation refutes record of most diverged avian hybrid
The most diverged avian hybrid that has been documented (Numida meleagris× Penelope
superciliaris) was reported in 1957. This identification has yet to be confirmed, and like most …

How important are functional and developmental constraints on phenotypic evolution? An empirical test with the stomatal anatomy of flowering plants
Quantifying the relative contribution of functional and developmental constraints on
phenotypic variation is a long-standing goal of macroevolution, but it is often difficult to …

Evolutionary rates of nuclear and organellar genomes are linked in land plants
Plants carry genetic material in three separate compartments, the nuclear, mitochondrial,
and chloroplast genomes. These genomes interact with each other to various degrees and …

How important are functional and developmental constraints on phenotypic evolution? An empirical test with the stomatal anatomy of flowering plants
Functional and developmental constraints on phenotypic variation may cause traits to covary
over millions of years and slow populations from reaching their adaptive optima …

[PDF][PDF] Developmental integration cannot explain major features of stomatal anatomical evolution in seed plants
Developmental integration can cause traits to covary over macroevolutionary time and in
some cases prevent populations from reaching their adaptive optima. Developmental …
