A highly conserved ontogenetic limb allometry and its evolutionary significance in the adaptive radiation of Anolis lizards.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 30 Jun 2021

Feiner Nathalie, Jackson Illiam S C, Van der Cruyssen Eliane, Uller Tobias

Abstract excerpt

Diversifications often proceed along highly conserved, evolutionary trajectories. These patterns of covariation arise in ontogeny, which raises the possibility that adaptive morphologies are biased towards trait covariations that resemble growth trajectories. Here, we test this prediction in the diverse clade of Anolis lizards by investigating the covariation of embryonic growth of 13 fore- and hindlimb bones in...
