Shifts in cranial integration associated with ecological specialization in pinnipeds (Mammalia, Carnivora)
Patterns of trait integration reflect the underlying genetic and developmental architecture of morphology and significantly influence the direction of evolution. Nevertheless, the relationship between integration and disparity is complex and unlikely to be uniform across large phylogenetic and ecolo...
