Are Darwin's finches affected by climate change? Time-series analyses of beak and body traits, precipitation and temperature show finches are a resilient system, responding mainly to short-term weather variation rather than to long-term climate change:

Thrilled to share our new paper out in BMC, part of my postdoc at @cornellvet.bsky.social! ππ
We found that larger mammals evolve more diverse morphologies, while smaller ones can explore many locomotor strategies without much change to their forelimbs.

Really cool paper by my collaborators!
Simon et al. compared the role of constraints and selection on function to align evolutionary patterns of hindlimb trait covariation in frogs. They inferred that species tracked jumping performance peaks along lines of least resistance within-species.
