The use of functional diversity analyses in ecology has grown exponentially over the past
two decades, broadening our understanding of biological diversity and its change across …

Analyses of morphological disparity have been used to characterize and investigate the
evolution of variation in the anatomy, function and ecology of organisms since the 1980s …

Dinosaurs and pterosaurs have remarkable diversity and disparity through most of the
Mesozoic Era,–. Soon after their origins, these reptiles diversified into a number of long-lived …

The use of n‐dimensional hypervolumes in trait‐based ecology is rapidly increasing. By
representing the functional space of a species or community as a Hutchinsonian niche, the …

Understanding the biogeographical patterns, and evolutionary and environmental drivers,
underpinning morphological diversity are key for determining its origins and conservation …

Evolvability is best addressed from a multi-level, macroevolutionary perspective through a
comparative approach that tests for among-clade differences in phenotypic diversification in …

Selectivity of mass extinctions is thought to play a major role in coupling or decoupling of
taxonomic, morphological, and ecological diversity, yet these measures have never been …

Divergence times based on molecular clock analyses often differ from those derived from
total‐evidence dating (TED) approaches. For bryophytes, fossils have been excluded from …

Pterosaurs, the earliest flying tetrapods, are the subject of some recent quantitative
macroevolutionary analyses from different perspectives. 1–2 Here, we use an integrative …

Simple Summary The larvae of owlflies and antlions (here shortly embraced by the term
“owllions”) are ambush predators. Their mouthparts are transformed into teeth-bearing …
