Functional innovation promotes diversification of form in the evolution of an ultrafast trap-jaw mechanism in ants

Evolutionary innovations underlie the rise of diversity and complexity—the 2 long-term trends in the history of life. How does natural selection redesign multiple interacting parts to achieve a new emergent function? We investigated the evolution of a biomechanical innovation, the latch-spring mecha...
