Beautiful #morphospace illustration by a student (used with permission) from my undergraduate class in #paleontology. We discussed the original study by David Raup on shell coiling in #snails, #ConvergentEvolution and the use of a coiled shell for different functions. As well as #DataVisualization. Some students got excited by conveying their message in #Python, some in #Rlanguage, some in #Excel (it’s an undergraduate class so Excel is phased out gradually), but this version was the most beautiful 😊 #teaching #geoscience

Carlson & Stoddard introduce a 3D pattern morphospace built from biologically relevant pattern features to describe the evolution of plumage patterns in melanerpine woodpeckers. This framework can be applied to other animal taxa as well.
