Rates of morphological evolution, asymmetry and morphological integration of shell shape in scallops

Abstract Background Rates of morphological evolution vary across different taxonomic groups, and this has been proposed as one of the main drivers for the great diversity of organisms on Earth. Of the extrinsic factors pertaining to this variation, ecological hypotheses feature prominently in observ...
