Abstract
En 中文
Are form and function always correlated, and if so, is this relationship predictable across taxonomic levels? Vicent-Castelló et al. (2026) show that in lizards from the family Lacertidae there is a significant correlation between form and function, but this correlation differs in magnitude and direction across evolutionary scales. The direction of this relationship is not conserved across taxonomic levels, suggesting that similar functional outcomes can arise from different morphological configurations.
