Ontogenetic convergence and evolution of foot morphology in European cave salamanders (Family: Plethodontidae).

BMC evolutionary biology - 16 Jul 2010

Adams Dean C, Nistri Annamaria

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A major goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the evolution of phenotypic diversity. Both natural and sexual selection play a large role in generating phenotypic adaptations, with biomechanical requirements and developmental mechanisms mediating patterns of phenotypic evolution. For many traits, the relative importance of selective and developmental components remains understudied. RESULTS: We...
