Natural History Constrains the Macroevolution of Foot Morphology in European Plethodontid Salamanders.

The American naturalist - 1 Aug 2017

Adams Dean C, Korneisel Dana, Young Morgan, Nistri Annamaria

Abstract excerpt

The natural history of organisms can have major effects on the tempo and mode of evolution, but few examples show how unique natural histories affect rates of evolution at macroevolutionary scales. European plethodontid salamanders (Plethodontidae: Hydromantes) display a particular natural history relative to other members of the family. Hydromantes commonly occupy caves and small crevices, where they cling to...
