Molecular phylogenies map to biogeography better than morphological ones
Phylogenetic relationships are inferred principally from two classes of data: morphological
and molecular. Currently, most phylogenies of extant taxa are inferred from molecules and …

Why should we compare morphological and molecular disparity?
C Van Den Ende, MN Puttick… - Methods in Ecology …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Indices of morphological disparity seek to summarise the highly multivariate morphological
variation across groups of species within clades, time bins or other groups. Morphological …

Fossilization can mislead analyses of phenotypic disparity
Analyses of morphological disparity can incorporate living and fossil taxa to facilitate the
exploration of how phenotypic variation changes through time. However, taphonomic …

Categorical versus geometric morphometric approaches to characterizing the evolution of morphological disparity in Osteostraci (Vertebrata, stem Gnathostomata)
Morphological variation (disparity) is almost invariably characterized by two non‐mutually
exclusive approaches:(1) quantitatively, through geometric morphometrics; and (2) in terms …

Phylogenetic congruence, conflict and consilience between molecular and morphological data
Morphology and molecules are important data sources for estimating evolutionary
relationships. Modern studies often utilise morphological and molecular partitions alongside …

[PDF][PDF] Morphological disparity and its correlates across clades
Morphological disparity refers to the degree of difference in physical form or structure among
a group of different, but related species (clade) or other operational taxonomic units (eg …
