The paper examines genomic adaptation to aridity in Eucalyptus, finding non-convergent genetic routes despite shared linked selection mechanisms.

The paper demonstrates that phylogenetic-generalised-least-squares (PGLS) can obscure conservative trait correlation (CTC) in shape analysis, using geometric morphometrics on rock-wallaby crania.

The paper applies phylogenetic location-scale models to leaf economic data in Eucalyptus, showing that incorporating trait variance improves predictions of niche conservatism and ecological adaptation.

The paper identifies conserved trait strategies in Eucalyptus trees that enable aridity tolerance through phylogenetic analysis and trait-environment relationships.

This study tests whether an economic spectrum explains variation in ant ecological strategies, finding parallels with plant leaf economics spectra.

The paper investigates the role of climate and habitat in the evolution of social grouping in lizards, finding that sociality is linked to cool, dry climates through indirect ecological adaptations.
