Membrane-bound intestinal enzymes of passerine birds: Dietary and phylogenetic correlates
(2011)
Bird species exhibit great diversity in digestive tract morphology and enzymatic activity that is partly correlated with the chemical composition of their natural diets. However, no studies have assessed whether the ...
Contrasting phylogenetic signals and evolutionary rates in floral traits of Neotropical lianas
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2011)
The diversity of floral forms has long been considered a prime example of radiation through natural selection. However, little is still known about the evolution of floral traits, a critical piece of evidence for the ...
Testing the genetic constraint hypothesis in a phylogenetic context: a simulation study
Quantitative genetic theory predicts that when populations diverge by drift the interspecific divergence (D matrix), calculated from species means, will be proportional to the average value of the additive genetic ...
Influência da massa corporal, da filogenia e do habitat sobre a estrutura da vocalização de aves brasileiras
(Universidade Federal de UberlândiaBRPrograma de Pós-graduação em Ecologia e Conservação de Recursos NaturaisCiências BiológicasUFU, 2016)
Relationship between body size and flying-related structures in Neotropical social wasps (Polistinae, Vespidae, Hymenoptera)
(SPRINGERNEW YORK, 2012)
Body size influences wing shape and associated muscles in flying animals which is a conspicuous phenomenon in insects, given their wide range in body size. Despite the significance of this, to date, no detailed study has ...
Species richness, but not phylogenetic diversity, influences community biomass production and temporal stability in a re-examination of 16 grassland biodiversity studies
(Wiley, 2015-02)
Hundreds of experiments have now manipulated species richness of various groups of organisms and examined how this aspect of biological diversity influences ecosystem functioning. Ecologists have recently expanded this ...
Cladistic analysis of continuous modularized traits provides phylogenetic signals in Homo evolution
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2008)
Evolutionary novelties in the skeleton are usually expressed as changes in the timing of growth of features intrinsically integrated at different hierarchical levels of development(1). As a consequence, most of the shape- ...
Weak Phylogenetic Signal For Specialisation In Antagonistic Liana–tree Networks
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2015)
A phylogenetic approach to determining the importance of constraint on phenotypic evolution in the neotropical lizard Anolis cristatellus
(Evolutionary Ecology Ltd, 2017-01-01)
Question: Is the pattern of phenotypic divergence among populations influenced by constraint in the form of the genetic covariances among characters? Background: Quantitative genetic theory predicts that when evolutionary ...
