One of the hallmarks of biological diversity is the unparalleled variation in form among species across taxonomic groups. Insights into the origin of new species and adaptation in the wild are often based on the characterization of morphological traits that enhance feeding, use of novel habitats, evading predators, or attracting mates. A core goal of this project is to determine how morphological traits are related to ecological function and exploitation of habitats. The research is based on the key concept of the form-function complex, which describes how morphology influences performance, ecology, and fitness. Thus, demonstrating the adaptive significance of a trait requires showing how it affects survival or reproduction. A second goal of this project is to demonstrate the role of morphology in predicting species habitat occupancy and community organization. Furthermore, the work will investigate how morphological traits drive diversification patterns as well as evaluate the adaptive basis of morphology by comparing disparity between clades that differ in species number.This project synthesizes ecomorphological approaches used in micro- and macroevolutionary analyses and makes available a large database to stimulate future research. The core data are derived from the PI's work on the covariation between morphology (900+ species) and physiological performance (300+ species) in ecological and evolutionary contexts using lizards as a model system. The published and unpublished data amassed over the past 30+ years will provide the largest synthetic analysis of ecomorphology across an extensive phylogenetic sample of species and provides the opportunity to test hypotheses regarding variation in trait diversification, whether morphological disparity promotes functional disparity, convergent evolution in form-function complexes and the roles of morphology and physiological traits in promoting adaptive radiations. Based on these data the analyses will 1) result in a comprehensive analysis of morphological diversification among major lizard clades, 2) test hypotheses pertaining to the influence of ecological traits (habitat, diet) in influencing phylogenetic diversification, morphological diversification, and functional diversification 3) estimate interspecific performance gradients using a phylogenetically informed analyses, 4) describe temporal and spatial variability of the performance gradient, and 5) determine the link between morphology, performance, and fitness using a long-term database. The results of the synthetic analysis of ecomorphological data will include the submission of a monograph. Concomitantly, the data associated with the synthesis will be made available as a phenotypic database to increase the accessibility to other researchers interested in ecomorphology.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

生物多样性的标志之一是分类群体之间物种之间的形式无与伦比的变化。对新物种起源和野外适应的见解通常是基于形态学特征的特征，从而增强了喂食，使用新型栖息地，逃避捕食者或吸引伴侣。该项目的核心目标是确定形态学特征如何与生态功能和栖息地的剥削有关。该研究基于形式功能复合体的关键概念，该综合体描述了形态如何影响性能，生态学和健身。因此，证明特征的适应性意义需要表明其如何影响生存或繁殖。该项目的第二个目标是证明形态在预测物种栖息地占用和社区组织中的作用。此外，这项工作将研究形态学特征如何推动多样化模式，并通过比较物种数量不同的进化枝之间的差异来评估形态学的适应性基础。该项目合成了在微观和宏观进化分析中使用的生态形态学方法，并可以提供大型数据库来刺激未来的研究。核心数据来自PI在生态和进化环境中使用蜥蜴作为模型系统中形态（900多种）与生理性能（300多种）之间的协方差的工作。在过去的30多年中，已发布和未发表的数据将在广泛的物种系统发育样本中提供最大的生态形态合成分析，并为形态学差异促进形态融合，形成界面的促进和物理学的作用，提供了关于性状差异的变化的机会，可以促进形态差异，以促进形成性的进化。基于这些数据，分析将1）对主要蜥蜴枝之间形态多样化进行全面分析，2）测试与生态特征（栖息地，饮食）在影响系统发育多样化，形态多样化和功能多样化影响的生态特征（栖息地，饮食）有关的影响方面的影响的假设3）估算性能渐变性的绩效和分析性的绩效，并阐述了跨性别的绩效，并阐述了跨性别的绩效，4.梯度和5）使用长期数据库确定形态，性能和健身之间的联系。生态形态数据的合成分析结果将包括提交专着。同时，将与合成相关的数据作为表型数据库提供，以提高对生态形态感兴趣的其他研究人员的可访问性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
