How to Make a Rodent Giant: Genomic Basis and Tradeoffs of Gigantism in the Capybara, the World’s Largest Rodent

Gigantism results when one lineage within a clade evolves extremely large body size relative to its small-bodied ancestors, a common phenomenon in animals. Theory predicts that the evolution of giants should be constrained by two tradeoffs. First, because body size is negatively correlated with popu...
