Insularity and aridity as drivers of mandibular disparity in thylamys elegans (Waterhouse, 1839) from populations of the Atacama desert, Chile
(MDPI, 2022)
Simple Summary The following article studied the environment influence between island and mainland in an endemic marsupial from Chile the mouse-opossum Thylamys elegans (Waterhouse, 1839). Its important to understand that ...
Hábito alimentar e história evolutiva moldam a forma do bico dos passeriformes da Mata Atlântica
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilCiências BiológicasUFSMPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Biodiversidade AnimalCentro de Ciências Naturais e Exatas, 2018-03-28)
In the present study, we aimed to analyze the effect of the feeding habit, phylogenetic history,
size and habitat in the beak shape of the Atlantic Forest passerine birds, as a whole group and
also comparing the two ...
Evolution of post-weaning skull ontogeny in New World opossums (Didelphidae)
(Springer Heidelberg, 2018-09)
Quantification of mammalian skull development has received much attention in the recent literature. Previous results in different lineages have shown an effect of historical legacy on patterns of skull growth. In marsupials, ...
Morphological data sets fit a common mechanism much more poorly than DNA sequences and call into question the Mkv model
(Oxford University Press, 2018-11-15)
The Mkv evolutionary model, based on minor modifications to models of molecular evolution, is being increasingly used to infer phylogenies from discrete morphological data, often producing different results from parsimony. ...
The tarsal-metatarsal complex of caviomorph rodents: Anatomy and functional-adaptive analysis
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2017-06)
Caviomorph rodents represent a major adaptive radiation of Neotropical mammals. They occupy a variety of ecological niches, which is also reflected in their wide array of locomotor behaviors. It is expected that this ...
Pectoral girdle and forelimb variation in extant Crocodylia: the coracoid–humerus pair as an evolutionary module
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2013)
To date, all statements about evolutionary morphological transformation in Crocodylia have essentially been based on qualitative observations. In the present study, we assessed the morphological variation and covariation ...
Evolución ecomorfológica de los tipos de enrollamiento en los trilobites durante el Paleozoico
(Universidad de los AndesGeocienciasFacultad de CienciasDepartamento de Geociencias, 2020)
Morphology allows to extract clear evidence in patterns of disparity in conjunction with characteristics of the habitat. In this work, comparisons between environmental patterns and taxonomic characters are evidenced in ...
