Modularity is now generally recognized as a fundamental feature of organisms, one that may
have profound consequences for evolution. Modularity has recently become a major focus of …

Phenotypic variation across mammals is extensive and reflects their ecological
diversification into a remarkable range of habitats on every continent and in every ocean …

Large‐scale digitization projects such as# ScanAllFishes and oVert are generating high‐
resolution microCT scans of vertebrates by the thousands. Data from these projects are …

The origin of phenotypic diversity among higher clades is one of the most fundamental
topics in evolutionary biology. However, due to methodological challenges, few studies have …

The field of comparative morphology has entered a new phase with the rapid generation of
high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) data. With freely available 3D data of thousands of …

Advances in imaging technologies, such as computed tomography (CT) and surface
scanning, have facilitated the rapid generation of large datasets of high-resolution three …

Modularity is a ubiquitous feature of organismal design that plays an important role in
structuring patterns of morphological diversification. Modularity can facilitate evolutionary …

Squamates (lizards, snakes, and their kin such as amphisbaenians, or “worm lizards”)
represent the world's most diverse clade of terrestrial vertebrates with∼ 11,000 described …

Habitat is one of the most important factors shaping organismal morphology, but it may vary
across life history stages. Ontogenetic shifts in ecology may introduce antagonistic selection …

Metamorphosis is widespread across the animal kingdom and induces fundamental
changes in the morphology, habitat and resources used by an organism during its lifetime …
