A novel phylogenetic comparative model reveals strong signals for early high disparity in ichthyosaurs

Ricardo Ely, Fabio Machado

Combining Early Burst and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes, an Early High Disparity model best fits ichthyosaur skull length across 108 phylogenies, placing median peak disparity at 231.1 Ma.

Morphological integration of the avian beak facilitates evolution along lines of least resistance

Ricardo Ely, Stefan Sommer, Christy A. Hipsley

The paper evaluates macroevolutionary patterns in avian beak morphology using 3D landmarks and a supertree, finding that integration promotes phenotypic evolution by reducing developmental constraints.
