Extreme and rapid bursts of functional adaptations shape bite force in amniotes

2018-05-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Adaptation is the fundamental driver of functional and biomechanical evolution and can be linked to rates of phenotypic trait evolution. Significant shifts in evolutionary rates are seen as instances of exceptional adaptation. However, whether or not signatures of exceptional adaptations (elevated rates) can be distinguished from general adaptations (background rate) in biomechanical traits rema...
