Thermal trait variation is of fundamental importance to forecasting the impacts of
environmental change on lizard diversity. Here, we review the literature for patterns of …

Abstract Theory predicts that correlational selection on two traits will cause the major axis of
the bivariate G matrix to orient itself in the same direction as the correlational selection …

The family Phyllostomidae, which evolved in the New World during the last 30 million years,
represents one of the largest and most morphologically diverse mammal families. Due to its …

Morphological allometry is striking due to its evolutionary conservatism, making it an
example of a certain sort of evolutionary stasis. Organisms that vary in size, whether for …

The adaptive landscape and the G‐matrix are keys concepts for understanding how
quantitative characters evolve during adaptive radiation. In particular, whether the adaptive …

Studies of differences in modularity and integration among the related species can provide
important information on their evolution. We argue that evolutionary changes in the …

Little is known about the synergistic impacts of urbanization and hurricanes on
synanthropes. We compared morphological traits of the lizard Anolis cristatellus on Puerto …

The adoption of a multivariate perspective of selection implies the existence of multivariate
adaptive peaks and pervasive correlational selection that promotes co-adaptation between …

The G matrix, which quantifies the genetic architecture of traits, is often viewed as an
evolutionary constraint. However, G can evolve in response to selection and may also be …

Stabilizing selection is important in evolutionary theories of the maintenance of genetic
variance and has been invoked as the key process determining macroevolutionary patterns …
