Conserved covariance structure underlies 60 million years of morphological diversification in primates

This study shows that primate cranial variation has remained conserved in covariance structure and evolvability over 60 million years, despite morphological divergence.

Morphological integration during postnatal ontogeny: implications for evolutionary biology

The paper examines how covariance patterns of phenotypes change during postnatal ontogeny in mammals and finds that these patterns stabilize after weaning, likely influenced by genetic processes.

Modularity and Morphometrics: Error Rates in Hypothesis Testing

The paper compares metrics for detecting modularity in morphological data and finds that Procrustes residuals hinder modularity detection, while MHI outperforms RV in robustness.
