Body size is a key feature of organisms and varies continuously because of the effects of
natural selection on the size‐dependency of resource acquisition and mortality rates. This …

The use of the functional feeding group–damage type system for analyzing arthropod and
pathogen interactions with plants has transformed our understanding of herbivory in fossil …

The cause of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction is vigorously debated, owing to the
occurrence of a very large bolide impact and flood basalt volcanism near the boundary …

To discover interordinal relationships of living and fossil placental mammals and the time of
origin of placentals relative to the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary, we scored 4541 …

The butterfly family Nymphalidae contains some of the most important non-drosophilid insect

For numerous taxa, species richness is much higher in tropical than in temperate zone
habitats. A major challenge in community ecology and evolutionary biogeography is to …

At a glance, most species seem adapted to the environment in which they live. Yet species
relentlessly evolve, and populations within species evolve in different ways. Evolution, as it …
