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.

Metastable Evolutionary Dynamics: Crossing Fitness Barriers or Escaping via Neutral Paths?

, 1999
We analytically study the dynamics of evolving populations that exhibit metastability on the level of phenotype or fitness. In constant selective environments, such metastable behavior is caused by two qualitatively different mechanisms. One the one hand,

Evaluating Bayesian Morphological Clocks for Estimating a Dated Phylogeny in a Relict and Fossil‐Rich Family of Wasps (Hymenoptera, Chrysidoidea)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 448-463, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, a wide array of tools originally developed for molecular dating analyses has been adapted for use within a morphological clock perspective. This is of paramount relevance for taxonomic groups that cannot be sampled in forms suitable for DNA extraction.
