Flexible conservatism in the skull modularity of convergently evolved myrmecophagous placental mammals
Background: The skull of placental mammals constitutes one of the best studied systems for phenotypic modularity. Several studies have found strong evidence for the conserved presence of two- and six-module architectures, while the strength of trait correlations (integration) has been associated wit...
