Host: Joe Walker
Abstract: Morphological polymorphism is ubiquitous in the fossil record. Virtually all fossil lineages display population-level variation, some of which is maintained over millions of years. In this talk, I will examine how polymorphisms maintained throughout the duration of fossil lineages is inherited across incipient daughter species. Applying models of morphological evolution that account for intraspecific polymorphism, I explore how long-maintained polymorphisms have shaped macroevolutionary dynamics and phylogenetic patterns in two genera of fossil echinoderms.
