1.Quantifying phenotypic evolutionary rates and their variation across phylogenetic trees is a major issue in evolutionary biology. A number of phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) currently perfor
Time (days) spent in each stage of development for P. astrigera from 3rd instar to adult emergence when exposed to either non-Bt cabbage-fed or Bt cabbage-fed D. melanogaster.
The nature of phenotypic evolution within lineages is central to many unresolved questions in paleontology and evolutionary biology. Analyses of evolutionary time-series of ancestor-descendant populat
The incredibly diverse colour patterns in butterflies are generated from an array of pigmented scales on a largely two-dimensional surface, resulting in a visibly tractable system for studying phenoty
