Clades that represent a new ‘Bauplan’ have been hypothesised to exhibit more variability than more derived clades. Accordingly, there is an expectation of greater variation around the time of the origin of a clade than later in its evolutionary history. This ‘canalisation’ has been tested in terms o...
