A macroevolutionary common-garden experiment reveals differentially evolvable bone organization levels in slow arboreal mammals
Abstract Eco-morphological convergence, i.e., similar phenotypes evolved in ecologically convergent taxa, naturally reproduces a common-garden experiment since it allows researchers to keep ecological factors constant, studying intrinsic evolutionary drivers. The latter may result in differential ev...
