The evolution of multi-component weapons in the superfamily of leaf-footed bugs

2023-04-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Sexually selected weapons, such as the antlers of deer, claws of crabs, and tusks of beaked whales, are strikingly diverse across taxa and even within groups of closely related species. Phylogenetic comparative studies have typically taken a simplified approach to investigating the evolution of weapon diversity, examining the gains and losses of entire weapons, major shifts in size or type, or c...
