#LiteratureNotice Białkowski et al. Evolutionary constraints shape the diversity of microinsects’ wing morphology doi.org/10.1098/rspb... #Beetle #Beetles #evolutionarystudy #microinsects

Diagram illustrating key changes in wing architecture associated with body miniaturization. Black arrows represent the strength of miniaturization effects, proportional to the coefficient of determination. Blue bands indicate phylogenetic inertia in adaptations to body-size reduction. Scatter plots show the difference between optimal regression slopes (unbiased by ancestral stages) and evolutionary (actual) regression slopes. Beetle drawings depict the actual scale of the size differences between the largest and the smallest bark beetle species included in the analysis.
