Data from: Mosaic evolution in the middle Miocene planktonic foraminifera Fohsella lineage
Recent studies have shown that modes of evolution, namely directional trend, random walk, and stasis, vary across morphologic traits and over the geographic range of a taxon. If so, is it possible that our interpretation of evolutionary modes is actually driven by our selection of traits in a study?...
