Evidence for complex life cycle constraints on salamander body form diversification.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 12 Sept 2017

Bonett Ronald M, Blair Andrea L

Abstract excerpt

Metazoans display a tremendous diversity of developmental patterns, including complex life cycles composed of morphologically disparate stages. In this regard, the evolution of life cycle complexity promotes phenotypic diversity. However, correlations between life cycle stages can constrain the evolution of some structures and functions. Despite the potential macroevolutionary consequences, few studies have...
