Working with laws, regularities and singularities in biology: The evolution of mammalian red blood cell size as a case study

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phylogenetic comparative methods have been used in recent literature to work with laws and test for regularities (evolutionary associations of quantitative features) and evolutionary singularities (features that evolved in a single taxon). We analyzed these uses epistemologically, taking the evolution of red‐blood‐cell mean corpuscular volume (

Twin pregnancies and the limits of the energetics of gestation and growth hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The “Energetics of Gestation and Growth” (EGG) hypothesis proposes that human birth timing and the associated secondary altriciality of human newborns is determined by limits in maternal metabolic capacity. According to this model, labor is triggered when the increasing fetal energy requirements exceed the expectant mother's maximum sustained ...
