TL;DR: It is found that Rensch’s rule does apply in howlers, implying Alouatta ecomorphological differences to occur above the species level, justifying their non-overlapping geographic distribution.

TL;DR: The rate of evolution in Podarcis head shapes on islands is not statistically different from the mainland rate, although insular lizards have distinctive head shapes, and the estimated ages of insular populations are lower than Lambeck et al.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors model spatial and temporal patterns in habitat suitability for 24 megafauna species and Homo sapiens in Eurasia and find that within land patches most suitable for humans, the identity of the most abundant herbivorous mammals switched from warm adapted species (such as the wild boar) to cold adapted species(reindeer) as climate switched from mild to cold conditions.

TL;DR: The functions perform the estimation of phenotypic evolutionary rates, the computation of ontogenetic shape vectors and test for morphological convergence and levels for Respondability, Evolvability, Flexibility.

TL;DR: In 2017, a hemimandible (MW5-B208) corresponding to the Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis ), was found in a stratigraphically-controlled and radio-isotopically-dated sequence of the Melka Wakena paleoanthropological site-complex, on the Southeastern Ethiopian Highlands, ~ 2300 m above sea level as mentioned in this paper .
