Approximately two decades after the first pioneering analyses, the study of shape asymmetry
with the methods of geometric morphometrics has matured and is a burgeoning field. New …

One of the most pervasive ideas in the sexual selection literature is the belief that sexually
selected traits almost universally exhibit positive static allometries (ie, within a sample of …

Phylogenetic generalised least squares (PGLS) is one of the most commonly employed
phylogenetic comparative methods. The technique, a modification of generalised least …

Exaggerated male traits that have evolved under sexual selection include ornaments to
attract mates and weapons to deter rivals. Data from studies of many such traits in diverse …

Many spectacular cases of biological diversity are associated with sexual selection, and
structures under sexual selection often show positive static allometry: they are …

Abstract The cichlids of East Africa are renowned as one of the most spectacular examples
of adaptive radiation. They provide a unique opportunity to investigate the relationships …

Understanding variation in trait allometry and the drivers of variation in sexually selected
traits is a major theme in evolutionary biology. The static allometries of sexually selected …

Un total de 403 especies de crustáceos decápodos y 15 de estomatópodos se han
registrado para el mar, las costas y las aguas continentales peruanas. Por efecto de eventos …

Over millions of years, the crustacean exoskeleton has evolved into a rigid, tough, and
complex cuticle that is used for structural support, mobility, protection of vital organs, and …

Comparative studies of gene expression are often designed with the aim of identifying
regulatory changes associated with phenotypic variation. In recent years, large‐scale …
