Form–function relationships within species are uncoupled from those across species in swimming and jumping performance in arboreal frogs Open
Variation of form–function relationships within populations is the substrate for adaptation at higher levels. Therefore, assessing similarity in form–function relationships within and between species may help reveal the processes shaping f…

Macroevolutionary Divergence along Allometric Lines of Least Resistance in Frog Hindlimb Traits and Its Effect on Locomotor Evolution Open
Understanding whether and why microevolutionary patterns of trait covariation match macroevolutionary divergence is essential for linking evolution at different timescales. However, recent work has focused on developmental constraints for …

Beyond Janzen's Hypothesis: How Amphibians That Climb Tropical Mountains Respond to Climate Variation Open
Synopsis Janzen's hypothesis (JH) posits that low thermal variation selects for narrow physiological tolerances, and thus small species distributional ranges and high species turnover along tropical elevational gradients. Although this hyp…

Can extreme climatic events induce shifts in adaptive potential? A conceptual framework and empirical test with <i>Anolis</i> lizards Open
Multivariate adaptation to climatic shifts may be limited by trait integration that causes genetic variation to be low in the direction of selection. However, strong episodes of selection induced by extreme climatic pressures may facilitat…

Sex-specific multivariate morphology/performance relationships in <i>Anolis carolinensis</i> Open
Animals rely on their ability to perform certain tasks sufficiently well to survive, secure mates and reproduce. Performance traits depend on morphology, and so morphological traits should predict performance, yet this relationship is ofte…

Development and function explain the modular evolution of phalanges in gecko lizards Open
Selective regimes favouring the evolution of functional specialization probably affect covariation among phenotypic traits. Phalanges of most tetrapods develop from a conserved module that constrains their relative proportions. In geckos, …

Bite performance surfaces of three ecologically divergent Iguanidae lizards: relationships with lower jaw bones Open
Traits that interact to perform an ecologically relevant function are expected to be under multivariate non-linear selection. Using the lower jaw morphology as a biomechanical model, we test the hypothesis that lower jaw bones of lizards a…

Phenotypic accommodation and genetic accommodation: evidence and unresolved issues in macroevolution Open
Novos conceitos relacionados à plasticidade de desenvolvimento, como acomodação fenotípica e acomodação genética, estão sendo debatidos e empiricamente testados quanto à sua participação em macroevolução. A acomodação fenotípica consiste d…

Evolution of a complex phenotype with biphasic ontogeny: Contribution of development versus function and climatic variation to skull modularity in toads Open
The theory of morphological integration and modularity predicts that if functional correlations among traits are relevant to mean population fitness, the genetic basis of development will be molded by stabilizing selection to match functio…

High evolutionary constraints limited adaptive responses to past climate changes in toad skulls Open
Interactions among traits that build a complex structure may be represented as genetic covariation and correlation. Genetic correlations may act as constraints, deflecting the evolutionary response from the direction of natural selection. …
