DOI: 10.1002/jmor.20714
Abstract: Modern humans have evolved bulging parietal areas and large, projecting temporal lobes. Both changes, largely due to a longitudinal expansion of these cranial and cerebral elements, were hypothesized to be the result of brain evolution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-19324-y
Abstract: Facial asymmetries are usually measured and interpreted as proxies to developmental noise. However, analyses focused on its developmental and genetic architecture are scarce. To advance on this topic, studies based on a comprehensive and simultaneous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icz053
Abstract: Many species have evolved alternate phenotypes, thus enabling individuals to conditionally produce phenotypes that are favorable for reproductive success. Examples of this phenomenon include sexual dimorphism, alternative reproductive strategies, and social insect castes. While the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.1241
Abstract: Organisms are organized into suites of anatomical structures that typically covary when developmentally or functionally related, and this morphological integration plays a determinant role in evolutionary processes. Artificial selection on domestic species causes strong morphological… read more here.

The impact of artificial selection on morphological integration in the appendicular skeleton of domestic horses

DOI: 10.1111/joa.12772
Abstract: The relationships between the different component parts of organisms, such as the sharing of common development or function, produce a coordinated variation between the different traits. This morphological integration contributes to drive or constrain morphological… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology11040496
Abstract: Simple Summary Phenotypic variability can be structured according to three interrelated components: developmental stability, morphological integration, and canalization. The cranium presents modular organization, consistent with the principles of morphological integration. In Down syndrome (DS), the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/vetsci10040255
Abstract: Simple Summary The comparison of anatomical characters is scarcely investigated in domestic animal breeds, and the racial classification has been based on morphological descriptions of the cranial region as a unit. The aim was to… read more here.
