Body mass evolution as a driver of morphological and ecological diversity in terrestrial mammals

Abstract Body mass plays a fundamental role in the macroevolutionary dynamics of morphological, ecological, and phylogenetic diversification. Given biomechanical principles, large body masses in terrestrial vertebrates may impose important constraints on the adaptative potential of skeletal morpholo...
