DOI: 10.1002/ca.24007
Abstract: INTRODUCTION The complex anatomy of the orbit generates a complex orbital shape that can only be quantified approximatively by classic linear measurements such as maximum width and height. There is no global three-dimensional quantification of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6691
Abstract: Abstract Leaf shape is a defining feature of how we recognize and classify plant species. Although there is extensive variation in leaf shape within many species, few studies have disentangled the underlying genetic architecture. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10329-019-00740-1
Abstract: Macaques are one of the most successful nonhuman primates, and morphological distinctions from their close relatives, African papionins, are easily detected by the naked eye. Nevertheless, evolutionary allometry often accounts for a large amount of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jcz.2020.10.002
Abstract: Abstract Cydianerus latruncularius (Perty, 1833) is a broad-nosed weevil (Entiminae) with South American distribution. In the past few years, some cases were observed where morphological modifications can occur on different populations of widely distributed species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/joa.13646
Abstract: Sauropodomorph dinosaurs include the largest terrestrial animals that ever lived on Earth. The early representatives of this clade were, however, relatively small and partially to totally bipedal, conversely to the gigantic and quadrupedal sauropods. Although… read more here.

Testing candidate genes linked to corolla shape variation of a pollinator shift in Rhytidophyllum (Gesneriaceae)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0267540
Abstract: Floral adaptations to specific pollinators like corolla shape variation often result in reproductive isolation and thus speciation. But despite their ecological importance, the genetic bases of corolla shape transitions are still poorly understood, especially outside… read more here.
