Are form and function always correlated, and if so, is this relationship predictable across taxonomic levels? Vicent-Castelló et al. (2026) show that in lizards from the family Lacertidae, there is a significant correlation between form and function, but this correlation differs in …

Adaptive radiation theory posits that speciation in such lineages is largely driven by ecological opportunity in concurrent morphological expansion in response to niche availability. Here, we use a phylogenomic estimate of Australasian diplodactyloid geckos in combination with meristic and ecological data to …

Abstract Adaptive radiation theory posits that speciation is largely driven by ecological opportunity with correlated morphological expansion in response to niche availability. We use a phylogenomic estimate of Australasian diplodactyloid geckos in combination with meristic and ecological data to infer patterns of …

This chapter provides an overview of a fieldwork conducted within Madagascar. It cites that the travel consisted of reminders about being easy targets for gangs as the trip coincided with a presidential election. Nocturnal excursions led to the discovery of Madagascar's most …

A key area of interest in evolutionary biology has been understanding the role of ecological opportunity in the formation of adaptive radiations, lineages where speciation and phenotypic diversification are driven by open ecological opportunity. Evolutionary theory posits that adaptive radiations should show …

Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that prevent or promote the coexistence of taxa at local scales is critical to understanding how biodiversity is maintained. Competitive exclusion and environmental filtering are two processes thought to limit which taxa become established in a community. However, …

Over the last decade, the combination of biological surveys, genetic diversity assessments and systematic research has revealed a growing number of previously unrecognised vertebrate species endemic to the Australian Monsoonal Tropics. Here we describe a new species of saxicoline velvet gecko in …

Morales et al. test predictions of adaptive radiation theory and phenotypic convergence in Myotis bats using genomic target capture and a morphological dataset that represents 80% of the species described for this genus. The authors demonstrate that ecomorphological convergence has occurred multiple …
