The development of the Silurian trilobite Aulacopleura koninckii reconstructed by applying inferred growth and segmentation dynamics: A case study in paleo-evo-devo [PDF]
, 2017 Fossilized growth series provide rare glimpses into the development of ancient organisms, illustrating descriptively how size and shape changed through ontogeny.

A leaf phenomics approach for estimating belowground traits in North American licorice
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Selective breeding over thousands of years has prioritized aboveground yield, with little regard for changes belowground. Roots underpin plant growth and resilience, but our knowledge of these critical structures lags behind that of aboveground structures.

Identifying environmental correlates of intraspecific genetic variation [PDF]
Heredity, 2016 Genetic variation is critical to the persistence of populations and their capacity to adapt to environmental change. The distribution of genetic variation across a species' range can reveal critical information that is not necessarily represented in species occurrence or abundance patterns. We identified environmental factors associated with the amount

Climate and seed mass drive intraspecific variation in seed longevity in storage
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Conservation seed banks are essential for ex situ plant conservation, but stored seeds slowly deteriorate and lose viability. Seed longevity in storage is determined by the initial seed viability and the rate of seed viability loss. The rate of seed viability loss in storage varies between species and possibly between populations or ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Variation in δ13C and δ15N within and among plant species in the alpine tundra
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2021 Ratios of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stable isotopes in plants are important indicators of intrinsic water use efficiency and N acquisition strategies.

Rescuing intraspecific variation in human‐impacted environments
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2020 Abstract Anthropogenic activities influence ongoing selective regimes leading to changes in phenotypic variation of plants and animals. The reduction of phenotypic variation may decrease populations' ability to cope with environmental changes.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Domestic rabbits of different body sizes differ disproportionately in the length of their tooth row or the length of their diastema. Abstract In various domestic mammals, smaller breeds tend to have proportionally larger teeth, whereas this is not a universal trend across mammals.

The Origin, Succession, and Predicted Metabolism of Bacterial Communities Associated with Leaf Decomposition. [PDF]
, 2019 Intraspecific variation in plant nutrient and defensive traits can regulate ecosystem-level processes, such as decomposition and transformation of plant carbon and nutrients.
