Invasion of new adaptive zones retains telltale signs of directional selection at macroevolutionary scales in mammals

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

Late Quaternary millennial-scale stability of the feeding strategy of the gray brocket deer in Southeastern Brazil.

This study uses stable isotope analysis of dental enamel to show that gray brocket deer in the Cerrado biome maintained a browsing diet from the Late Pleistocene to Holocene despite climatic changes.

Morphological integration during postnatal ontogeny: implications for evolutionary biology

The paper examines how covariance patterns of phenotypes change during postnatal ontogeny in mammals and finds that these patterns stabilize after weaning, likely influenced by genetic processes.
