Measuring sexual dimorphism in human faces

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 705-718, May 2026.
CVA outperforms regression scoring when measuring sexual dimorphism in human faces, allowing for more accurate classification and shape reconstruction. Method selection has a significant impact on findings, necessitating a reevaluation of previous claims linking facial masculinity to traits such as height.

Fit for purpose? Analysis of the relationship between skull, beak shape and feeding ecology in Psittaciformes

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 873-887, May 2026.
Psittaciformes exhibit high levels of morphological diversity, particularly in skull and beak structure, previously linked to diet and body size. Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.

Phylogenetic constraints, conservatism, and convergence shape three‐dimensional variation in flower morphology of a tropical orchid radiation

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 3, May 2026.
SUMMARY Despite advances in phylogenetic comparative methods, challenges remain to distinguish between various macroevolutionary patterns of phenotypic variation (e.g., conservatism, convergence) and to infer their underlying proximate (genetic, developmental) or ultimate (selective versus neutral) causes.
