The functional significance of morphological changes in the dentitions of early mammals by Conith, Andrew J., Imburgia, Michael J., Crosby, Alfred J., Dumont, Elizabeth R.

Evolution of a soft-tissue foraging adaptation in African cichlids: Roles for novelty, convergence, and constraint by Conith, Moira R., Conith, Andrew J., Albertson, R. Craig

“…Understanding the origins of biodiversity demands consideration of both extrinsic (e.g., ecological opportunity) and intrinsic (e.g., developmental constraint)…”

The influence of divergent reproductive strategies in shaping modularity and morphological evolution in mammalian jaws by Conith, Andrew J., Meagher, Molly A., Dumont, Elizabeth R.

“…Marsupial neonates are born at an earlier developmental stage than placental mammals, but the rapid development of their forelimbs and cranial skeleton allows…”

Covariation of brain and skull shapes as a model to understand the role of crosstalk in development and evolution by Conith, Andrew J., Hope, Sylvie A., Albertson, R. Craig

“…Covariation among discrete phenotypes can arise due to selection for shared functions, and/or shared genetic and developmental underpinnings. The consequences…”

The Influence of Climatic Variability on Morphological Integration, Evolutionary Rates, and Disparity in the Carnivora by Conith, Andrew J., Meagher, Molly A., Dumont, Elizabeth R.

“…Biodiversity is unevenly distributed in space and time. One possible explanation for this is the influence of climate on the ecology, evolution, and morphology…”

Weak genetic signal for phenotypic integration implicates developmental processes as major regulators of trait covariation by Conith, Andrew J., Hope, Sylvie A., Chhouk, Brian H., Craig Albertson, R.

“…Phenotypic integration is an important metric that describes the degree of covariation among traits in a population, and is hypothesized to arise due to…”
