Facing the facts: adaptive trade‐offs along body size ranges determine mammalian craniofacial scaling
The mammalian cranium (skull without lower jaw) is representative of mammalian diversity
and is thus of particular interest to mammalian biologists across disciplines. One widely …

Rules of teeth development align microevolution with macroevolution in extant and extinct primates
Macroevolutionary biologists have classically rejected the notion that higher-level patterns of
divergence arise through microevolutionary processes acting within populations. For …

Successive climate crises in the deep past drove the early evolution and radiation of reptiles
Climate change–induced mass extinctions provide unique opportunities to explore the
impacts of global environmental disturbances on organismal evolution. However, their …

Moving beyond the adaptationist paradigm for human evolution, and why it matters
Abstract The Journal of Human Evolution (JHE) was founded 50 years ago when much of
the foundation for how we think about human evolution was in place or being put in place …

Plohophorini glyptodonts (Xenarthra, Cingulata) from the late Neogene of northwestern Argentina. Insight into their diversity, evolutionary history, and …
Northwestern Argentina (NWA), together with the Pampean region (PR), has produced one
of the most complete late Neogene continental sequences in Argentina. A diversity of …

Skull variation in Afro-Eurasian monkeys results from both adaptive and non-adaptive evolutionary processes
Afro-Eurasian monkeys originated in the Miocene and are the most species-rich modern
primate family. Molecular and fossil data have provided considerable insight into their …

Evaluating the accuracy of methods for detecting correlated rates of molecular and morphological evolution
Determining the link between genomic and phenotypic change is a fundamental goal in
evolutionary biology. Insights into this link can be gained by using a phylogenetic approach …

Endocranial cast anatomy of the Early Miocene glyptodont Propalaehoplophorus australis (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) and its evolutionary implications
Abstract Propalaehoplophorus is an Early Miocene genus of glyptodonts, a group of extinct
armored mammals closely related to armadillos and endemic to South America. Here, we …

Restructuring of Skull Modularity Pattern in Evolution Within Myotis myotis–Myotis blythii Species Group (Vespertilionidae, Chiroptera, Mammalia)
I Dzeverin, O Vertsimakha - Evolutionary Biology, 2024 - Springer
Studies of differences in modularity and integration among the related species can provide
important information on their evolution. We argue that evolutionary changes in the …

[PDF][PDF] Pervasive cranial allometry at different anatomical scales and variational levels in extant armadillos Alometría craneal generalizada a diferentes escalas …
Allometry, ie, morphological variation correlated with size, is a major pattern in organismal
evolution. Since size varies both within and among species, allometry occurs at different …
