Our latest: Theoretical morphospace reveals mixed optimisation of the avian wing planform for flight style - the work of Benton Walters, with very little help from myself and @emilyrayfield.bsky.social
Abstract. Morphological disparity, reflecting the breadth of phenotypic variation within clades, offers critical insights into evolutionary dynamics beyond

Here, the authors examine bird wing planform shape and functional performance using theoretical morphospace and phylomorphospace. They find that, in a sample of 1138 extant bird taxa, planform shape i...
