Adaptive landscapes unveil the complex evolutionary path from sprawling to upright forelimb function and posture in mammals

Adaptive landscapes and underlying trait weights.
(A) Trait weightings of adaptive landscapes calculated for major extant and fossil groups, which maximize the performance of the group mean humerus shape. (B) The reconstructed adaptive landscapes for each group, showing performance peaks and valleys across morphospace. Fossil taxa are indicated by the gray outline. The data underlying this figure can be found in S1 Table and S1 Data.
