The paper uses simulations to show that body temperature evolution is constrained by protein thermal performance, leading to predictable patterns of rapid initial change followed by slow adaptation.

The paper uses macroevolutionary models to analyze how body temperature evolves in endothermic and ectothermic tetrapods, finding shared constraints on thermal physiology evolution despite ecological differences.

The paper examines how the loss of a color morph in woodland salamanders affects asymmetric character release and evolutionary rates between morphs.

This study compares aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates to identify shifts in demographic and evolutionary constraints affecting life-history evolution, finding reduced diversification potential on land and differences in viviparity transitions.
