- Title
Evolution and Phylogenetic Signal of Growth Trajectories: The Case of Chelid Turtles.
- Authors
WILSON, LAURA A. B.; SÁNCHEZ-VILLAGRA, MARCELO R.
- Abstract
The article presents the conducted study on the evolution and phylogenetic signal of growth trajectories in chelid turtles. The study also aims to assess the feasibility of using the comparative ontogenetic trajectory data in phylogeny studies. In the study, nine species of turtles were studied using bivariate allometric methods, including the Chelodina longicollis, Chelodina reimanni and Chelus fimbriatus.
