Modelling evolutionary tempo and mode using formal morphological spaces and Markov chain principles.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 29 Jan 2024

Fontanarrosa Gabriela, Abdala Virginia, Dos Santos Daniel Andrés

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary tempo and mode summarize ancient and controversial subjects of theoretical biology such as gradualism, convergence, contingence, trends, and entrenchment. We employed an integrative methodological approach to explore the evolutionary tempo and mode of Lepidosaurian phalangeal formulae (PFs). This approach involves quantifying the frequencies of morphological changes along an evolutionary trajectory....
