Abstract excerpt

Morphological evolution can be explosive, producing visually spectacular adaptive radiations like Caribbean anoles, Malagasy vangas, and African Rift Lake cichlids. Yet morphological stasis, the long-term retention of a conserved body plan, is often observed across evolutionary radiations. Woodland salamanders (Plethodon) are a classic example of such "nonadaptive" radiation, characterized by prolific speciation...
