An Incisor Runs Through It II Evolutionary modularity of the squirrel mandible
Meeting Abstract 118-4 Tuesday, Jan. 7 08:30 – 08:45 An Incisor Runs Through It II. Evolutionary modularity of the squirrel mandible SWIDERSKI, DL*; ZELDITCH, ML; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor dlswider@umich.edu If variational modularity explains how complex adaptations can evolve, it should predict the pattern of evolutionary modularity. The rodent mandible has long served as a classic […]
An Incisor Runs Through It I Variational modularity of the squirrel mandible
Meeting Abstract 118-3 Tuesday, Jan. 7 08:15 – 08:30 An Incisor Runs Through It I. Variational modularity of the squirrel mandible ZELDITCH, ML*; SWIDERSKI, DL; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor zelditch@umich.edu Modularity enables complex morphologies to evolve, by coordinating variation of functionally coupled traits within modules, which, being quasi-autonomous, can vary independently […]
