Acknowledging uncertainty in evolutionary reconstructions of ecological niches
Reconstructing ecological niche evolution can provide insight into the biogeography and
diversification of evolving lineages. However, comparative phylogenetic methods may infer …

Patterns of ontogenetic evolution across extant marsupials reflect different allometric pathways to ecomorphological diversity
The relatively high level of morphological diversity in Australasian marsupials compared to
that observed among American marsupials remains poorly understood. We undertake a …

Disentangling the Drivers of the Sampling Bias of Freshwater Fish across Europe
The Wallacean shortfall refers to the knowledge gap in biodiversity distributions. There is still
limited knowledge for freshwater fish species despite the importance of focusing …

Evolution of diet in extant marsupials: emergent patterns from a broad phylogenetic perspective
Extant marsupials are highly diverse, both morphologically and ecologically. As a key
ecological factor, diet has been studied in marsupials at the species level. However, a …
