The paper examines directional selection during adaptive zone transitions in mammals, finding elevated evolutionary rates in most cases compared to genetic drift.

This study shows that primate cranial variation has remained conserved in covariance structure and evolvability over 60 million years, despite morphological divergence.

The paper introduces a high-throughput system for simultaneous morphometry of Drosophila legs and wings, showing similar evolutionary rates for wings and legs but higher allometric change in wings.
