Fig. 3: Phylomorphospace representing the fast-slow continuum as a function of body size.
From: Adaptations to marine environments and the evolution of slow-paced life histories in endotherms

a–d Phylomorphospaces for Aequorlithornites (a), Anseriformes (b), Cetartiodactyla (c) and Carnivora (d). In the plots, the phylogenetic tree is superimposed onto the morphospace by connecting species based on their evolutionary relationships. To more clearly represent the phylomorphospace, the body mass of adults has been log-transformed, and the axis scales have been adjusted across taxa. Colour codes like in Fig. 1.
