Malagasy cichlids differentially limit impacts of body shape evolution on oral jaw functional morphology.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2017

Martinez Christopher M, Sparks John S

Abstract excerpt

Patterns of trait covariation, such as integration and modularity, are vital factors that influence the evolution of vertebrate body plans. In functional systems, decoupling of morphological modules buffers functional change in one trait by reducing correlated variation with another. However, for complex morphologies with many-to-one mapping of form to function (MTOM), resistance to functional change may also be...
