What does modularity mean?
ML Zelditch, A Goswami - Evolution & Development, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Comparing the strength of modular signal, and evaluating alternative modular hypotheses, using covariance ratio effect sizes with morphometric data
The study of modularity is paramount for understanding trends of phenotypic evolution, and
for determining the extent to which covariation patterns are conserved across taxa and …

Integration drives rapid phenotypic evolution in flatfishes
Evolutionary innovations are scattered throughout the tree of life, and have allowed the
organisms that possess them to occupy novel adaptive zones. While the impacts of these …

Extending phylogenetic regression models for comparing within‐species patterns across the tree of life
Evolutionary biologists characterize macroevolutionary trends of phenotypic change across
the tree of life using phylogenetic comparative methods. However, within‐species variation …

The consequences of craniofacial integration for the adaptive radiations of Darwin's finches and Hawaiian honeycreepers
The diversifications of Darwin's finches and Hawaiian honeycreepers are two text-book
examples of adaptive radiation in birds. Why these two bird groups radiated while the …

The cichlid oral and pharyngeal jaws are evolutionarily and genetically coupled
Evolutionary constraints may significantly bias phenotypic change, while “breaking” from
such constraints can lead to expanded ecological opportunity. Ray-finned fishes have …

Morphological diversification under high integration in a hyper diverse mammal clade
Diversification and adaptive radiations are tied to evolvability, which in turn is linked to
morphological integration. Tightly integrated structures typically evolve in unison, whereas …
