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 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.

EvolQG provides R tools for evolutionary quantitative genetics analyses, including covariance matrix calculations and hypothesis testing on taxa diversification.

The paper compares metrics for detecting modularity in morphological data and finds that Procrustes residuals hinder modularity detection, while MHI outperforms RV in robustness.

The paper estimates genetic and phenotypic covariances in skull and mandible morphology of Calomys expulsus and finds strong similarity between them, attributed to developmental and functional interactions.
