Integrating paleontological and phylogenetic approaches to macroevolution
With proliferation of molecular phylogenies and advances in statistical modeling,
phylogeneticists can now address macroevolutionary questions that had traditionally been …

Using phylogenetic information and the comparative method to evaluate hypotheses in macroecology
CE Hernandez, E Rodríguez‐Serrano… - Methods in Ecology …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
It is widely recognized that macroecological patterns are not independent of the evolution of
the lineages involved in generating these patterns. While many researchers have begun to …

Disruption of the head direction cell network impairs the parahippocampal grid cell signal
Navigation depends on multiple neural systems that encode the moment-to-moment
changes in an animal's direction and location in space. These include head direction (HD) …

Cope's rule in the evolution of marine animals
Cope's rule proposes that animal lineages evolve toward larger body size over time. To test
this hypothesis across all marine animals, we compiled a data set of body sizes for 17,208 …

Golden orbweavers ignore biological rules: phylogenomic and comparative analyses unravel a complex evolution of sexual size dimorphism
Instances of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) provide the context for rigorous tests of biological
rules of size evolution, such as Cope's rule (phyletic size increase), Rensch's rule (allometric …

Adaptive evolution toward larger size in mammals
The notion that large body size confers some intrinsic advantage to biological species has
been debated for centuries. Using a phylogenetic statistical approach that allows the rate of …

Rise of dinosaurs reveals major body-size transitions are driven by passive processes of trait evolution
RB Sookias, RJ Butler… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - royalsocietypublishing.org
A major macroevolutionary question concerns how long-term patterns of body-size evolution
are underpinned by smaller scale processes along lineages. One outstanding long-term …

Ecological specialization in fossil mammals explains Cope's rule
Cope's rule is the trend toward increasing body size in a lineage over geological time. The
rule has been explained either as passive diffusion away from a small initial body size or as …
