Dorsal and Ventral Plumage Coloration Evolve as Distinct Modules with Different Environmental Correlations
Am Nat. 2024 Apr;203(4):528-534. doi: 10.1086/728766. Epub 2024 Feb 9.ABSTRACTAbstractMany animals exhibit contrast between their dorsal coloration and their ventral coloration. If selection acts differently on dorsal versus ventral coloration, ancestral covariance between these traits should break down, eventually leading to independent modules of trait evolution. Here, we compare the evolution of feather color across body regions for a clade of Australasian songbirds (Meliphagoidea). We find evidence for three modules of covarying color regions. Among these modules, ventral feathers evolve with high lability, evolving at...

A Spatial Signal of Niche Differentiation in Tropical Forests
Am Nat. 2024 Apr;203(4):445-457. doi: 10.1086/729218. Epub 2024 Feb 9.ABSTRACTAbstractExplaining diversity in tropical forests remains a challenge in community ecology. Theory tells us that species differences can stabilize communities by reducing competition, while species similarities can promote diversity by reducing fitness differences and thus prolonging the time to competitive exclusion. Combined, these processes may lead to clustering of species such that species are niche differentiated across clusters and share a niche within each cluster. Here, we characterize this partial niche differentiation in a tropical fore...

The Role of (Co)variation in Shaping the Response to Selection in New World Leaf-Nosed Bats
Am Nat. 2024 Apr;203(4):E107-E127. doi: 10.1086/729219. Epub 2024 Feb 20.ABSTRACTAbstractUnderstanding and predicting the evolutionary responses of complex morphological traits to selection remains a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Because traits are genetically correlated, selection on a particular trait produces both direct effects on the distribution of that trait and indirect effects on other traits in the population. The correlations between traits can strongly impact evolutionary responses to selection and may thus impose constraints on adaptation. Here, we used museum specimens and comparative quantitative ...
