Still slow, but even steadier: an update on the evolution of turtle cranial disparity interpolating shapes along branches
In a previous study, we estimated the cranial disparity of turtles (Testudinata) through time using geometric morphometric data from both terminal taxa and hypothetical ancestors to compensate for temporal gaps in the fossil record. While this method yielded reasonable results for the Mesozoic and t...
