Tempo and mode of morphological evolution are decoupled from latitude in birds.

PLoS biology - 1 Aug 2021

Abstract excerpt

The latitudinal diversity gradient is one of the most striking patterns in nature, yet its implications for morphological evolution are poorly understood. In particular, it has been proposed that an increased intensity of species interactions in tropical biota may either promote or constrain trait evolution, but which of these outcomes predominates remains uncertain. Here, we develop tools for fitting...
