Data from: Geographical variation in bill size across bird species provides e...
Allen’s rule proposes that the appendages of endotherms are smaller, relative to body size, in colder climates, in order to reduce heat loss. Empirical support for Allen’s rule... -
Data from: Accounting for the effects of biological variability and temporal ...
Quantifying the effects of taphonomic processes on species abundances in time-averaged death assemblages (DAs) is pivotal for paleoecological inference. However, fidelity... -
Data from: Multiple data sets, congruence, and hypothesis testing for the phy...
Several data partitions, including nuclear and mitochondrial gene sequences, chromosomes, isozymes, and morphological characters, were used to propose a new phylogeny and to... -
Data from: Character Analysis in Morphological Phylogenetics: Problems and So...
Many aspects of morphological phylogenetics are controversial in the theoretical systematics literature and yet are often poorly explained and justified in empirical studies. In... -
Data from: Using a null model to recognize significant co-occurrence prior to...

Data from: Extensive sex-specific nonadditivity of gene expression in Drosoph...
Assessment of the degree to which gene expression is additive and heritable has important implications for understanding the maintenance of variation, adaptation, phenotypic... -
Data from: Molecular phylogenetics of desmognathine salamanders (Caudata: Ple...
Phylogenetic relationships were reconstructed for salamanders of the plethodontid subfamily Desmognathinae to examine evolution of morphology, ecology, and life history.... -
Data from: Multiple sources of character information and the phylogeny of Haw...
Relationships among representatives of the five major Hawaiian Drosophila species groups were examined using data from eight different gene regions. A simultaneous analysis of... -
Data from: Australian Lasioglossum + Homalictus Form a Monophyletic Group: Re...
The bee genus Lasioglossum includes over 1000 species of bees distributed on all continents except Antarctica. Lasioglossum is a major component of the bee fauna in the... -
Data from: Incongruence between morphological data sets: an example from the ...
Phylogenetic analyses of molecular and morphological data sets for a group of parasitic wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) give strikingly different results. The molecular data... -
Data from: Crayfish molecular systematics: using a combination of procedures ...
The use of comparative methods to test evolutionary hypotheses has become more common at both the macro- and microevolutionary levels. The application of such techniques is... -
Data from: Molecular systematics of the Canidae
Despite numerous systematic studies, the relationships among many species within the dog family, Canidae, remain unresolved. Two problems of broad evolutionary significance are... -
Data from: Is local adaptation in Mimulus guttatus caused by trade-offs at in...
Local adaptation is considered to be the result of fitness trade-offs for particular phenotypes across different habitats. However, it is unclear whether such phenotypic... -
Data from: Allometric scaling of metabolism, growth, and activity in whole co...
The negative allometric scaling of metabolic rate with body size is among the most striking patterns in biology. We investigated whether this pattern extends to physically... -
Data from: Mitochondrial phylogeny of notothenioids: a molecular approach to ...
Antarctic waters represent a unique marine environment delimited by an oceanographic barrier, the Polar Front Zone, and characterized by constant subzero temperatures and... -
Data from: Phylogenetic signal in mitochondrial and nuclear markers in sea an...
The mitochondrial genome of basal animals is generally more slowly evolving than that of bilaterians. This difference in rate complicates the study of relationships among... -
Data from: Ecological partitioning among parapatric cryptic species
Geographic range differences among species may result from differences in their physiological tolerances. In the intertidal zone, marine and terrestrial environments intersect... -
Data from: Adaptation and plasticity of animal communication in fluctuating e...
Adaptations that facilitate the reception of long-range signals under challenging conditions are expected to generate signal diversity when species communicate in different... -
Data from: Inter-specific gene flow dynamics during the Pleistocene-dated spe...
Tropical forests have undergone repeated fragmentation and expansion during Pleistocene glacial and interglacial periods, respectively. The effects of this repeated forest... -
Data from: Genealogy and palaeodrainage basins in Yunnan Province: phylogeogr...
Historical drainage patterns adjacent to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau differed markedly from those of today. We examined the relationship between drainage history and geographic...
