Adaptive landscapes unveil the complex evolutionary path from sprawling to upright forelimb function and posture in mammals
Fig 2
(A) Performance surfaces of seven measured functional traits. (B) Trait weightings of adaptive landscapes calculated for individual species plotted onto the phylogeny. (C) Weightings of adaptive landscapes reconstructed at ancestral nodes plotted against a simplified phylogeny of non-mammalian synapsids.
