Microevolutionary patterns in the common caiman predict macroevolutionary trends across extant crocodilians
BIOLOGICAL JOURNAL OF THE LINNEAN SOCIETY, 116(4), 834–846.
author keywords: adaptive radiation; Caiman crocodilus; geometric morphometrics; intraspecific variation; skull shape
TL;DR:
It is shown that C. crocodilus skulls vary along a narrow/broad-snouted continuum, with different subspecies strongly clustered at distinct ends of the continuum, suggesting that mechanisms of microevolutionary divergence within species may also explain broader patterns of diversification at higher taxonomic levels.
