Estimating rates and patterns of morphological evolution from phylogenies: lessons in limb lability from Australian <it>Lerista </it>lizards
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Squamates (lizards and snakes) offer an exciting model system for research on the evolution of body form. A new phylogenetic study in <it>BMC Evolutionary Biology </it>of Australian lizards shows remarkable evolutionary lability in digit numbers among...
