The Influence of Climatic Variability on Morphological Integration, Evolutionary Rates, and Disparity in the Carnivora.

The American naturalist - 1 Jun 2018

Conith Andrew J, Meagher Molly A, Dumont Elizabeth R

Abstract excerpt

Biodiversity is unevenly distributed in space and time. One possible explanation for this is the influence of climate on the ecology, evolution, and morphology of taxa. Here we investigated the link between climatic variability and phenotypic integration, rates of morphological evolution, and disparity (morphological diversity) in three carnivoran clades (Canidae, Felidae, and Mustelidae). We gathered landmark...
