Tempo and mode of evolutionary radiation in iguanian lizardsLuke J Harmon
Department of Biology, Campus Box 1137, Washington University, St Louis, MO 63130 4899, USA
Science 301:961-4. 2003..This inverse relationship between timing of diversification and morphological disparity within subclades may be a general feature that transcends the historically contingent properties of different evolutionary radiations...
Convergence and the multidimensional nicheLuke J Harmon
Department of Biology, Washington University, St Louis, Missouri 63130, USA
Evolution 59:409-21. 2005..This suggests that the habitat specialist niches into which these anoles have evolved are multidimensional, involving several distinct and independent aspects of morphology...
Phylogenetic analysis of ecomorphological divergence, community structure, and diversification rates in dusky salamanders (Plethodontidae: Desmognathus)Kenneth H Kozak
Department of Biology, Box 1137, Washington University, Saint Louis, Missouri 63130, USA
Evolution 59:2000-16. 2005....
Intercontinental community convergence of ecology and morphology in desert lizardsJane Melville
Department of Natural Sciences, Washington University, St Louis, MO 63130, USA
Proc Biol Sci 273:557-63. 2006..This result indicates that in these desert lizards, deterministic adaptive evolution shapes community patterns and overrides the historical contingencies unique to particular lineages...
Resolving deep phylogenetic relationships in salamanders: analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear genomic dataDavid W Weisrock
Department of Biology, Campus Box 1137, Washington University, St Louis, Missouri, 63130, USA
Syst Biol 54:758-77. 2005....
Multivariate phenotypic evolution among island and mainland populations of the ornate day gecko, Phelsuma ornataLuke J Harmon
Department of Biology, Washington University, St Louis, Missouri 63130, USA
Evolution 60:2622-32. 2006..These results reveal that the forces shaping different sets of organismal traits may be distinct, such that a variety of statistical approaches are needed to investigate selection in natural populations...
The effect of intraspecific sample size on type I and type II error rates in comparative studiesLuke J Harmon
Department of Biology, Washington University, St Louis, Missouri 63130, USA
Evolution 59:2705-10. 2005..If within-species variance is particularly large and intraspecific sample sizes small, then either larger sample sizes or comparative methods that account for measurement error are necessary...
Underparameterized model of sequence evolution leads to bias in the estimation of diversification rates from molecular phylogeniesLiam J Revell
Department of Biology, Campus Box 1229, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri 63130, USA
Syst Biol 54:973-83. 2005
Brain evolution triggers increased diversification of electric fishesBruce A Carlson
Department of Biology, Washington University in St Louis, St Louis, MO 63130, USA
Science 332:583-6. 2011..These results show that neural innovations can drive the diversification of signals and promote speciation...
