In anurans, habitat requirements strongly influence morphological evolution, resulting in ecomorphological groups. Current policy for amphibian conservation usually builds on species, without considering to the distinct ...

The evolution of crocodylians as sea dwellers remains obscure because living representatives are basically freshwater inhabitants and fossil evidence lacks crucial aspects about crocodylian occupation of marine ecosystems. ...

The adaptive landscape and the G ?matrix are keys concepts for understanding how quantitative characters evolve during adaptive radiation. In particular, whether the adaptive landscape can drive convergence of phenotypic ...

Las ranas hílidas de La Hispaniola están representadas por cuatro especies endémicas: Hypsiboas heilprini, Osteopilus dominicensis, O. pulchrilineatus y O. vastus. Existen dos ecomorfos larvales representados en estos ...

Aquatic anoles present an interesting ecomorphological puzzle. On the one hand, the link between habitat use and morphology is well established as convergent within the Caribbean anole radiation. On the other hand, aquatic ...

Although many descriptive studies of foraging mode have been performed, the factors that underlie the evolution of foraging mode remain poorly understood. To test the hypothesis that foraging mode evolution is affected by ...

Environmental stressors that characterize intertidal habitats, such as exposure to air, thermal amplitude and wave action, influence biological patterns of distribution. The effects of these stressors on intertidal organisms ...
