TESTING THE FORM-FUNCTION PARADIGM: BODY SHAPE CORRELATES WITH KINEMATICS BUT NOT ENERGETICS IN SELECTIVELY-BRED BIRDS

Testing the form-function paradigm: body shape correlates with kinematics but not energetics in selectively-bred birds

Abstract A central concept of evolutionary biology, supported by broad scale allometric analyses, asserts that changing morphology should induce downstream changes in locomotor kinematics and energetics, and by inference selective fitness.However, if these mechanistic relationships exist at local intraspecific scales, where they The Easy Rider Shor
