The influence of modularity on cranial morphological disparity in Carnivora and Primates (Mammalia).
Although variation provides the raw material for natural selection and evolution, few empirical data exist about the factors controlling morphological variation. Because developmental constraints on variation are expected to act by influencing trait correlations, studies of modularity offer promisin...
