Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is suggested that the classical model of adaptive radiation, where morphological evolution is initially rapid and slows through time, may be rare in comparative data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rates of speciation and morphological evolution are correlated across the largest vertebrate radiation
Daniel L. Rabosky,Francesco Santini,Jonathan M. Eastman,Stephen A. Smith,Brian L. Sidlauskas,Jonathan Chang,Michael E. Alfaro +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that rates of species diversification are highly correlated with the rate of body size evolution across the 30,000+ living species of ray-finned fishes that comprise the majority of vertebrate biological diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous and Arrested Morphological Diversification in Sister Clades of Characiform Fishes: A Phylomorphospace Approach
TL;DR: Projecting families of phylogenies into multivariate morphospaces can distinguish two scenarios potentially leading to unequal morphological diversification: unequal magnitude of change per phylogenetic branch, and unequal efficiency in morphological innovation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dealing with allometry in linear and geometric morphometrics: a taxonomic case study in the Leporinus cylindriformis group (Characiformes: Anostomidae) with description of a new species from Suriname
TL;DR: This work investigates species delimitation of the slender-bodied fishes in the Leporinus cylindriformis group using SMATR and MorphoJ and demonstrates the utility of the allometric corrections that they provide, and offers easy and effective approaches to such allometrically informed taxonomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of an innovative locomotor strategy on the phenotypic diversification of triggerfish (family: Balistidae).
Alex Dornburg,Brian L. Sidlauskas,Brian L. Sidlauskas,Francesco Santini,Laurie Sorenson,Thomas J. Near,Thomas J. Near,Michael E. Alfaro +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the acquisition of a distinctive mode of locomotion drove an early radiation of shape and function in triggerfish, but not anEarly radiation of species.
