How many trees to see the forest? Assessing the effects of morphospace coverage and sample size in performance surface analysis

Abstract Linking morphology and function is critical to understanding the evolution of organismal shape. Performance landscapes, or performance surfaces, associate empirical functional performance data with a morphospace to assess how shape variation relates to functional variation. Performance surf...
