Evolutionary biology is multivariate, and advances in phylogenetic comparative methods for
multivariate phenotypes have surged to accommodate this fact. Evolutionary trends in …

Phylogenetic comparative methods use random processes, such as the Brownian Motion, to
model the evolution of continuous traits on phylogenetic trees. Growing evidence for non …

Primates might be particularly vulnerable to experiencing adverse effects from climate
change, given their level of exposure, sensitivity to climatic conditions, and biological traits …

Abstract Background and Aims The evolution of ecological specialization is favoured under
divergent selection imposed by increased environmental heterogeneity, although …

Elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are a charismatic lineage of unquestionable ecological
importance in past and present marine ecosystems. Represented by over 1200 species …

Although different animal species often exhibit extensive variation in many behaviors,
typically scientists examine one or a small number of behaviors in any single study. Here …

Among amniote and non-amniote tetrapod trackways from late Carboniferous to early
Permian deposits, certain trackway measures vary notably. Some of this variability can be …

Motivation Recently developed spatial lineage tracing technologies induce somatic
mutations at specific genomic loci in a population of growing cells and then measure these …

 Abstract The genus Ciliochorella is a group of pestalotioid fungi, which typically occurs in
subtropical and tropical areas. Species from the Ciliochorella genus play important roles in …

Substrate properties can affect the thermal balance of organisms, and the colored
integument, alongside other factors, may influence heat transfer via differential absorption …
